The Best Cuts of Beef for the Grill (AKA: How to Win at Dinner)

There are two kinds of grill nights:

The kind where everyone leaves happy and full.

The kind where somebody quietly asks if there’s cereal in the pantry.

Cut selection matters, buddy.

Here’s how to stack the deck in your favor.

Ribeye — The Heavyweight Champion

If flavor had a leaderboard, ribeye would be sitting at the top talking trash.

Loaded with marbling, impossible to make boring, and always a crowd-pleaser. You give this steak heat, salt, and about five minutes of attention — it’ll do the rest.

If you only buy one cut for the grill, start here.

Kansas City Strip — Clean, Bold, No Nonsense

A little leaner than ribeye, still packed with beefy flavor. It holds a beautiful crust and slices like a dream.

This one’s for folks who like their steak confident and straightforward — kind of like a good handshake.

Filet Mignon — Tender Royalty

Not the loudest steak in the room, but so tender you barely need teeth. Perfect for special nights when you want dinner to feel like an occasion.

Just don’t drown it in sauce — that’s just rude.

Burgers — Never Miss

Good beef makes great burgers. Period.

Hot grill, simple seasoning, maybe a little cheese action — and suddenly everyone’s hanging around the grill pretending they’re helping.

Bottom line:
Buy good beef. Don’t overthink it. Let the fire do its thing.
