Steak Tips
Expert advice for juicer, more flavorful steaks.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT STEAKFor prime cuts like T-bone, porterhouse, New York strip and top sirloin, choose cuts with plenty of marbling (layers of fat) to ensure that the meat stays moist as you cook it. Flank steak and London broil are great for a crowd and should be marinated in advance for best results.
