what's a good steak for serving sliced???

Midnight Smoker

i have some people coming over for dinner tonight, and i wanted to make some steak. usually, i serve London Broil, b/c it's easy to slice up and fan out on a server plate, and it looks really nice. [p]i was wondering if there were any other steaks that you can do that with? has anyone ever served Rib Eye or NY Strip that way?

Midnight Smoker,
I have seen a lot of pics of sliced Tri_tip on the site.

Midnight Smoker,
beef tenderloin is perfect

<p />Midnight Smoker,[p]Depending on your cost considerations...[p]Tenderloin.
London Broil...aka Top Round (can be "livery" tasting)
Flat Iron Steak (pictured above, and below)[p][p]And last...but not least...[p]Flank steak.[p]The least grade in these cuts I'd go for would be Choice![p]Evans

<p />Midnight Smoker,
tritip or any of the steaks where the grain goes the long way. if doing the ribey, cook a ribeye roast and slice it up, or the whole tenderloin. one of the cheaper cuts is the rump roast, i cook those sometimes and tell every one its sirloin. the rump roast is very underrated as far as flavor and most times they are tender.

<p />Midnight Smoker,
Try a 2" thick USDA Choice sirloin cook to a medium rare state. They slice wonderful and are really an economic cut of beef. They have great taste and texture. Good luck, Tom

Midnight Smoker,[p]thanks all for the advice. i'll see what my local supermarket has available. i dont' think i've ever seen a tri tip there, so i'll probably have to go with a nice sirloin, or maybe some flat iron steaks. i'd love to get a whole tenderloin, but i ai'nt got that kind of cash...not after taxes anyway!
