re: NY Strip vs Fillet

Filet is harder to screw up. If my coals are too hot and it fringes on medium, it's not ideal, but still damn tender and juicy. I think a slightly overcooked strip doesn't fare as well.... Also, I tend to like to dress-up a strip more, with peppercorns or bleu cheese. With a filet, to me the meat can stand alone. It almost has a buttery texture and flavor without any help.
