I have heard that the NY strip when A5 is the best flavor. But for your normal grocery store steak you are gonna be be better going with a ribeye. In other words the flavor of NY strip is the best but no marbles until you get on the expensive end of quality. Thus your average Joe cooking for a family is likely going to get better tasting steak by sticking with Ribeyes unless he has access to superior grades of meat. Can anyone confirm? I'm more of a med-rare ribeye man myself.

Strip definitely increases exponentially with the quality of marbling.

We are not talking about pulled pork here. We are talking about a filet. Treat it with some damn respect.



A.. Pulled pork would rest covered preferably in an ice chest (no ice for the morons) for 30 mins to and hour before shredding..

I let all my steaks rest in foil after coming of the grill.. It helps to let them rest for maximum tenderness..

I just don't understand how people still frick up steaks with all of the information out there at your fingertips.

Filets are amazing. When done right shite is damn near a dessert. I prefer it when I'm not very hungry.

A ribeye with a great cap is hard to beat too. Much more accessible at the market.

So many steak cuts are so good. We mustn't fight over which is best.

This is why I like to stock up on porterhouse cuts when I see them on sale. Strip and filet mignon cut at the same time. Alternatively you can pick the t-bone with the largest filet still attached.

Porterhouse for two is my go to when with my son.
Best of both worlds. Little tenderloin, little strip.

Great ribeye > Great filet Mediocre filet >>> Mediocre ribeye


This is the answer. But also...

Any cut cooked perfectly >>> any cut overcooked.
