Steak cuts
Depending on the cut, some steaks are naturally tender while others need marinating. Both can be delicious and it's fun to experiment with different tastes and textures. Whether you take a trip to the grocer or butcher, here's what to look for. Grilling steaks These require no marinating but can benefit from spice rubs or sauces for a different taste. The most flavourful, tender and juicy steaks are "marbled" with thin veins of ivory-coloured fat evenly running throughout the meat. Marinating steaks These are usually less expensive than grilling steaks and not as naturally tender. Marinating helps tenderize the meat and gives a flavour boost, too.
