  2. Cut and Quality • First things first: you'll need to choose the cut of meat you'll be grilling. • Types of steak include: • Tenderloin/filet (a top choice) • Sirloin strip • Rib eye • These are some of the most desirable cuts for grilling. • http://www.ffwdmag.com/living0701-2.htm

  3. Cut and Quality • USDA meat grades go from: • Prime: (top quality, mostly found in restaurants) • Choice: (typically the highest grade you'll find at the butcher) • Select: (leaner and more easily dried out). • There are lower grades, you'll want to avoid them. • Aged steak is less commonly found. It has a distinct flavor and the aging process can only be applied to the very best cuts of meat.

  4. Marbling is your friend • The more marbled the meat, the better. • The marbling look comes from small flecks of fat that will mostly melt and keep the meat moist.

  5. Thin is in • Thinner steaks are more easy to manage than thick ones. • About 1½" thick is the ideal size (but anywhere from 1 - 2 inches should be fine). • Filet mignon tends to be on the thicker side. • If you can't find what you're looking for pre-packaged, simply ask the butcher to cut the meat to your liking.
