Here's a good guide to illustrate different grades of steak
Different Cuts Of Beef
Primal Cuts These are the cuts from the initial butchering process.
Retail Cuts The primal cuts are then cut further to look like something you will probably recognise as steak.

Hi!
I'm looking to buy a wireless thermometer, that I can use when reverse searing steaks in the oven.
I heard good things about the ThermoPro TP20, but was curious to hear what you guys are using and if you have good experiences with a particular brand?
My local butcher was blowing out top sirloin roasts.
Decide to make a deconstructed Wellington. First time with puff pastry. First time with a duxelle.
Sous vide for 4 hours.
Served it with gravy and broccoli. 10/10 will make again.
Prime New York strip in the fridge for like eight hours while I was at work. Smash fried potatoes with Parmesan, spinach and garlic, and zucchini and goat cheese. Was feeling ambitious and honestly don’t think I did a good job on anything but the steak.
I don't mind a 1.5" ribeye but 2" on a fillet is my preference. Curious what others prefer
I'm a big fan of cast iron, I like to smoke meats (stick & coal or pellets), and I love grilling (charcoal or propane). I've cooked ribeye in the past many times as it's my favorite cut. Usually I'd just sear it on both sides and finish on the stove or oven when cooking inside. My first impression of the butter basting method was that it was just an attempt to overcomplicate cooking a steak to make it seem more dignified or regal. This was my process for my 1.32 lb ribeye:
I had made the mistake in the past of using the pre-chopped garlic and only including rosemary with my butter. This time around, I deferred to actual cloves of garlic, added shallots, included the rosemary but added thyme as well. Instead of the normal 'steak seasoning' I've used in the past, I chose to go with just kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper. I patted the steak dry, then seasoned it, including the sides, patted the seasoning in without apply any binding agent to the steak itself. I let it sit with the seasoning for 30 minutes before cooking. I used a small amount of oil in the pan, just enough to coat it. My flip was based solely on the fact that it was a 1" cut so it was a best guess for me. Overall, this was a top five steak for me, I plan on doing this again soon to see how I can improve it. Please give me any feedback you have!
Costco filet mignon
Tok t
Very curious what your last steak would be?
I rarely cook steak but when I do it’s often medium well which I’m not a fan of. But i started using a thermometer. These steaks were at 127F and I was worried they were going to get too cooked so I pulled them and let them rest the temp reached 130 while resting. I still ate it tho it was delicious I’m just worried that If it’s to rare to eat safely
Don’t really know nothing about steaks, but I got these from a grocery store instead of Costco like I usually do and they came with gray spots is this normal?
Probably one of the best steaks I have ever eaten
I pretty much only own a cast iron, there is an oven in the house though.
