The other week, we were determined to discover the Ultimate Grilled Steak Recipe with the help of Gordon Ramsay's viral steak tutorial. Let's just say, I won't be cooking steak any other way π The steak was perfectly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor even though we only used like 3 ingredients!

What is the best steak cut to grill?
I used filet mignon for the video below; however, top sirloin and rib eyes are my 'everyday' go-to. ;)
- Filet Mignon: The most lean, tender muscle for a soft, buttery texture, and most pricey. Best for date night or special occasions.
- Rib Eye: Is boneless with a fatty, rib bone still attached on the side that becomes crispy when grilling. More of an intense, beefy flavor and chewier than filets.
- New York Strip: The jack-of-all-trades (between a filet and rib eye) as it has a bit of a chew and a little less marbling (which knocks down the price!).
- Porterhouse: It's simply a New York Strip and Filet Mignon separated by a T-shaped bone. This is BEST grilled/broiled, and not cooked in a cast iron skillet since the meat will shrink as it cooks, but the bone will not.
- Hanger: Taken from the front of the cow's belly, this steak is a bargain with it's savory flavor and relative tenderness. It's soft texture makes it a great steak to marinate, but can be tricky when cooking. Too far = unpleasantly toothsome. Too overdone = dry to chew.
- Flank: A relatively tough chew from the hardworking muscle fivers in this steak cut but excellent in feeding a crowd without breaking the bank! I'd recommend cooking medium rare, then slicing the meat thinly against its grain. It's best with fajitas!
