If you’re looking for a hearty, delicious meal, you can’t go wrong with steak. Of course, not all cuts of steak are created equal. While every diner has different taste preferences, there’s no denying that some cuts are more popular than others. Here’s a closer look at some of the most common cuts of steak.

Which Cut of Steak Should You Order?

1. Ribeye

Cut from the area beneath the upper ribcage, the ribeye steak gets its juicy flavor from the high-fat content found in this area. This also lends the meat a more tender texture. Another variant of the ribeye steak is the rib steak or the cowboy steak, which is the same cut of meat, but served with the bone. Ribeye is usually served rare or medium-rare.

2. Filet Mignon

steakAs the most tender cut of steak, it’s little wonder that filet mignon is the cut of choice at many dining establishments. Filet mignon is also popular because it has less fat content than other cuts. This cut of meat is found near the backbone. Because it’s less juicy and flavorful than other cuts, steak sauce and other spices are used more frequently in its preparation. To ensure it stays tender, filet mignon is typically not cooked beyond medium-rare.

3. Porterhouse

A larger version of a T-bone cut, the porterhouse is one of the largest cuts of steak available. It features both filet mignon and New York Strip, which are separated by the T-shaped bone that runs between the two sides of meat. Both steaks are cut from the short loin, and are some of the most tender cuts of meat. The porterhouse is for those who are bringing a big appetite, as it’s rare to find one weighing less than 20 ounces.
