Choosing the Right Steak

Ribeye, strip, filet or sirloin? The best steak depends on what you love most—big flavor, tenderness, marbling or a little bit of everything.

FOR BIG FLAVOR

Go with a ribeye. Its generous marbling creates rich beef flavor and helps keep the steak juicy and tender as it cooks.

FOR TENDERNESS

Filet is hard to beat when tenderness is the priority. It’s leaner and milder in flavor, with the soft, buttery texture that makes tenderloin a favorite.

FOR THE BEST OF BOTH

New York strip gives you a great balance of bold beef flavor and tenderness. It’s leaner than ribeye but still has enough marbling for a juicy, satisfying steak.

FOR EVERYDAY GRILLING

Sirloin is flavorful, versatile and typically more budget-friendly. It’s a great choice for grilling whole or cutting into kabobs, steak bites and other weeknight meals.
