What steaks do most people enjoy?
It's about personal preference and how big a portion you can eat. Look for good marbling in the meat and are bright red in color. The less marbling of fat the leaner - and sometimes tougher - will be the meat. Filet is a far leaner steak and it's advisable to rub it with a bit of olive oil before grilling so it will stay moist during the cooking process.
Most popular steak cuts:
New York Strip - very meaty flavor with bone in
Porterhouse - very meaty flavor too
Filet - tender, juicy, foolproof to grill in a pan or outside on the grill
