Why Steak Is Great

I absolutely love grilling steak, there are many types of steak. My favorite in no specific order are:

1) NY Strip Steak
2) T Bone Steak
3) Rib Eye Steak

More important that finding the right named steak is finding a butcher shop that carries nothing but good quality fresh meat items. Nothing beats grilling a fresh steak on charcoal!

Finding a good quality steak marinade is also important. I usually use Wegmans Italian Marinade or a Montreal Steak Marinade. The Wegmans Marinade may be somewhat hard to find since it is fairly local to New York. But the Montreal marinade you should be able to find at any local grocery store.

After the marinade cooking steaks is the next most important thing. The key here is to cook the steaks nice and slow while not pressing down on them. This ensures the maximum amount of juices stay inside. Lastly when you steak is done let it site for a few moments before cutting into it. This allows the juices inside to slow down, when you finally cut into it, the taste will be amazing.
