Grilling is not just for men! On Father’s Day, you can slay a grill-takeover using these steak grilling tips from the Executive Chef of Mastro’s Steakhouse.<\/p>\n

What Steaks are Best for Grilling<\/h2>\n

Rule #1 is to start with the best quality steak you can find and afford. Looking for the best steaks to grill? The Cattlemen’s Beef Board says you won\u2019t go wrong with these juicy and delicious steak cuts: T-Bone, Tenderloin, and Top Sirloin. Plus some new ones to master, such as the Flat Iron and Ranch Steak.<\/p>\n

Meat Markets in Orange County<\/h2>\n

Choice grade steaks are fine, but Prime grade steaks will give you the most flavor and tenderness. Prime cuts are available in finer meat markets or butcher shops such as Beef Palace<\/a> in Huntington Beach or The Butchery Quality Meats<\/a> in Costa Mesa, Crystal Cove (Newport Coast), and Brea.<\/p>\n

For Father’s Day, I was picturing juicy, red, thinly sliced steak flavored with a spicy Southwestern rub and was satisfied with a nice cut of Choice top sirloin from Henry’s (now Sprouts) meat counter. What’s the difference between Select, Choice, and Prime grade? Learn about the USDA beef grading system<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Steak Grilling Tips<\/h2>\n

To achieve the desired temperature of steak every time, you should invest in an instant-read digital thermometer.\u00a0 Next, buy a steak that is at least an inch thick. Apply the rub (I use a variety of excellent rubs from Savory Spice Shop<\/a>) about an hour before you plan on grilling it, and leave the steak out for an hour or so to bring it to room temperature. I know what you’re thinking, but trust me on this one. Every grill book I’ve read or video I’ve watched recommends setting steaks out up to two hours before grilling. Here’s a video from Summer Kitchen with some other great tips for the perfect grilled steak.<\/p>\n
