Steak cuts don’t just vary in price and tenderness.

They also differ in texture, flavor profiles, heat tolerance, and other characteristics!

This means that the recipe in which each cut excels can also vary.

Today, we’ll talk about 7 popular steak cuts and the “best” way to cook each one.

1. Pan-Seared Filet Mignon

Steak is often associated with fine dining and elegance.

And when these two words are mentioned, the first steak cut that comes to mind is none other than filet mignon.

This premium cut is the most tender and sought-after of all steak cuts, which is why it’s often the main character of fine dining restaurants.

Luckily, though, you don’t need to be a seasoned chef to bring this cut to its full potential.

Just follow this recipe, and you’re guaranteed to achieve restaurant-quality filet mignon steak!

Cooking this dish is as easy as seasoning the steak with salt and pepper, pan-searing it very briefly, and then finishing the cooking process in the oven. 

Once the steak is fully cooked to your desired doneness level, top it with garlic herb butter, and serve hot!

2. Grilled T-Bone Steak

T-bone steak is my personal favorite out of all steak cuts. 

On one side, you have the tenderness of filet mignon, and on the other, the beefy flavor of sirloin steak!

Based on experience, the best way to bring out the best flavors and texture of T-bone steak is through grilling. 

That leads us to this grilled T-bone steak recipe, which uses a flavorful marinade made with ingredients like light soy sauce, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, steak seasoning, and other spices.

Once the steak has been marinated, simply grill over high heat until you reach your desired doneness level! 

Even if you don’t add extra butter, salsa, or dressing, this steak is perfectly flavor-packed as it is!

3. Garlic Butter Ribeye Steak

If you’ve got ribeye steak with beautifully rich marbling, consider making some garlic butter ribeye steak.

Cooked using simple ingredients such as butter, smashed garlic, and fresh rosemary, this method highlights the natural flavors and tender texture of ribeye steak!

You’ll also be spooning over melted butter during the last few minutes of your steak searing, so expect this dish to be very juicy, flavorful, and satisfying!

4. New York Strip Steak With Creamy Mushroom Sauce

New York strip steak is another steak cut that’s perfect for date nights. 

Since it’s lean and retains moisture well, it pairfectly pairs well with creamy mushroom sauce mentioned in this recipe!

Pair this dish with mashed potatoes and asparagus or your preferred sizes!

Flat Iron steak already has a really strong, beefy flavor. 

So, instead of trying to enhance its natural flavors with just plain salt and pepper, I usually add more flavor layers to this steak by marinating it before cooking!

My go-to marinade is a honey balsamic marinade, as it not only tenderizes the meat, but also adds a beautiful balance of sweetness and acidity to the dish. 

I usually prepare this marinade at night and let the steak marinate in the fridge until the next day to cook great steak with minimal waiting time!

6. Garlic Herb Butter Sirloin Steak

Sirloin steak may not be as tender as ribeye or filet mignon. 

But if there’s one thing that’s common among these three, it’s the fact that they all shine when topped off with the garlic-butter combo!

Now, of course, I’m a fan of all these three steak cuts. But since sirloin steak is cheaper, I cook garlic herb butter sirloin steak way more often.

7. Skirt Steak

Skirt steak isn’t the most tender cow part. But this recipe can easily fool whoever tries it into thinking that you’re eating one of the most flavorful and premium steak cuts!

By pounding the skirt steak and marinating it for up to 4 hours in a mixture of lime juice, honey, soy sauce, and spices, every bite of this dish always turns out juicy, tender, and delicious!

Every Steak Cut Can Make the Cut!

Every steak cut has unique properties, flavors, and textures, but as this list proves, they can all shine with the right recipe!

Sure, premium cuts are great.

However, don’t shy away from also exploring affordable options.

Believe me, mastering how to cook them is the key to enjoying steak weekly without adding another digit to your grocery budget.
