Steak choices

Sundown

Help! At 7:15 this am The Little Woman (TLW) reminded me that some friends were coming for dinner tonight. They are both steak lovers and I have to admit I'm not too well educated in the department of meat cut, flavor etc.
I want to blow them away with a choice piece of steer that has flavor and that Mr. Egg will love.
I've got about an hour or so before my local meat market opens.All help is appreciated.
Thanks have a Happy Fourth[p]Carey

Sundown,[p]It is hard to go wrong making steak on the Egg. To impress, we prefer either ribeye or porterhouse of 1.5 inches thick. Obtain cuts that have marbling through the meat (little specks of fat).[p]I little explaining to the butcher that you intend to cook these in your Egg over charcoal at high temp may produce a trip to the back and a quick meat lesson, along with some excellent cuts.[p]Spin

Sundown,[p]I vote for ribeye too...bone-in, if you can get it.[p]Cathy

Sundown,[p]I'm a big fan of filets on the egg. They are pricey, but if you have Sam's or Costco nearby, it's not too bad. I like a piece that's fist sized and about 2 inches thick. Sear at 700-750 for 3 minutes per side. close the vents and let sit for 4 minutes. The filets will be a perfect medium rare. let them sit longer if you want medium. If you want them done well, save some money and but cube staek

Irish Smoker,
Some killer advice so far! Can't go wrong with ribeyes, porterhouse, t-bones, or filet mignons. Those are the pricier cuts, but have optimum fat marbling....and oh so tender and juicy! [p]For these wonderous chunks-o-meat, I like to stay away from Select grade, and go with Choice or Prime grade. Like Spin says, if you have a good butcher, get him involved in helping you select some nice specimens!! Meat is his life.[p]Have fun!!

<p />Sundown,[p]Good steak = filet mignon. 1.5" thick!! sea salt, pepper pretty heavily - sear at 650-750 on each side for 3 min or 4 if they like a nice char. Then close up egg and cap it off for 3-5 min. Check with a thermometer as in the picture and go for 130 for rare or 140 for med.[p]Tim
