Despite the recent lean towards vegetarian and vegan eats, many of us still love a good steak. We came up with the top three tips on cooking the perfect steak. Check it out!

Cooking Tip #1
When picking the steak that you want to eat, be sure to examine the fat content…no, it’s not listed on the outside, but if you look at the steak, you can see the fat (called marbling) and this will help you determine the amount of flavor in your steak, amongst other things.

Cooking Tip#2
NEVER TRY TO MAKE STEW OUT OF FILET MIGNON! I REPEAT!!(Well, repeat it in your mind) Filet mignon is the beef tenderloin, the tenderest part of the cow. It is meant to cook at high temps, like grilling or broiling. Stewing will render the meat tough and indigestible. Take it from someone who’s experienced it.

Cooking Tip#3
Conversely, grilling brisket or shell steak is a bad idea. Brisket and shell steak, similar to London broil, come from parts of the cow that are heavily used…and therefore require lengthy periods of time to reach their maximum potential.
