Does a ribeye or sirloin have that same level of demarkation that I would be able to tell?

From what I can tell, those cuts are usually already cut across the grain. You can see if you turn it on end. The cheaper cuts are, as you say, more "demarked" because of the more strenuous use of the muscle before the cow meets its end.

FWIW.

Winn Dixie had a special on top sirloin last weekend. They were thick, and looked a lot like filets. A package with 2 was about $8, and if you buy one package, you get the other free.

I grilled in a charcoal barrel grill until just under medium. Oil, salt, fresh ground pepper, a touch of smoked paprika.

They were juicy and very tender. Worth every penny. I froze one package, and will grill those Thursday before the game.

Damn, 23 replies. For the question about ribeye and strips across the grain, yes they do have grain, but are tender enough where it's less important.

Anybody here have experience with Tri-Tip? It's a part of the top sirloin, very popular in california style BBQ. It's awesome marinated SW/Tex Mex style, grilled mid rare, sliced thin across the grain and eaten with flour tortillas. Chuy's Mesquite Grill out of Phoenix is a chain that specializes in it, and it's killer.

Whole Foods and sometime Fresh Market carry tri tip. I cook it like a London Broil. Good stuff.

Preheat your oven to 500 with the Iron Skillet in it. Or heat the skillet on the stove while the oven is heating. You want it to get really hot. Season your steaks with Kosher Salt, Cracked Pepper and a little Olive Oil.

Sear the steak on each side for a couple of minutes to get a nice "char" on them, then finish in your oven with a pat of butter on top to the doneness that you want. Medium Rare is best. Depends on the thickness of the steak for how long.

I bought a cast iron skillet that has ridges in it that I use for cooking steaks. Makes nice grill marks on it.

I am doing this tonight, but I have a little Worcestershire, bourbon, and cracked pepper. Will add Kosher salt & olive oil when cooking on the skillet.
