Best Steaks for Grilling

Even a steakhouse can't make a tough, flavorless steak tender and delicious. Starting with a thick steak is key – but which cut? With all of the options at the market, it's hard to know what to choose. Here are our favorites.

STRIP STEAK

Good flavor with lots of marbling.

RIB-EYE STEAK

Very flavorful with lots of marbling and a smooth, fine texture.

FILET MIGNON

Mild flavor (too mild for some), meltingly tender, surprisingly lean.

T-BONE

Strip and tenderloin in one, fatty (in a good way) flavor and texture.

PORTERHOUSE

Strip and tenderloin in one, but tenderloin is a larger than in T-bone steak.
