What's The Best Steak Cut & Why? Tenderloin vs Porterhouse vs T-Bone vs Strip vs Ribeye vs Sirloin

#steak #beststeakcuts #gentlemansgazette

Basically, there are lots of different cuts and we just focus on the most tender ones that we like the most. In our opinion, the best steaks are a ribeye, a tenderloin, a New York strip steak, a sirloin steak, a t-bone steak, and a porterhouse steak. While all these cuts are worth eating, most people prefer the flavor containers of a ribeye or a New York strip steak or a tenderloin.

The ribeye also known as Delmonico steak, Scotch Filet, or entrecote is a nice cut that comes from the rib area and sometimes it has the bone still. As the name implies, the cut comes from an area close to the rib and technically needs to have the bone removed to be called a ribeye. In my opinion, the ribeye is the best cut for people who value flavor over texture and it's definitely a richly marbled cut lots of fat but also nice juiciness.

The strip steak also known as a New York Strip or Kansas City strip is a little less tender but also still very flavorful. It's a short loin or strip loin cut roast and the muscle doesn't get used a lot so there's very little connective tissue and therefore it's a good cut of steak.

The Tenderloin is the most tender cut of the beef. It comes from the back part muscle that is used very rarely and it's oftentimes also referred to as filet or filet mignon. The average beef tenderloin is about three to three and a half pounds with a Chateaubriand the center cut tenderloin weighing anywhere between one and a half two and sometimes even two and a half pounds.

T-bone steaks and porterhouse steaks are very similar but are technically not exactly the same. A t-bone is called that way because it has a t-shaped bone with the tenderloin part on the one side and a strip steak on the other. According to the USDA, a t-bone steak just needs a tenderloin part that's .25 inch which is quite small. In order for it to be called a porterhouse steak, you have to have at least one and a quarter inches of tenderloin.

The top sirloin cut means it's the most tender part of the sirloin with the bones and the tougher parts removed. It's typically quite lean and also the least expensive cut of all the ones listed here. It's one of the most popular cuts in the US and while it is lean, it's also a little tougher and it doesn't quite have the flavor of the other steaks. At the same time, it's a good budget alternative.

What is your favorite steak cut and why?

[masterfeatherpen]

I was raised on a beef farm. Although the cheap, dyed, and bloated cuts that you buy at grocery store chains are from cattle raised in less-than-ideal conditions, please understand that good meat, from cattle that are raised well, is absolutely not bad for the environment, is extremely good for you, and is always more expensive (that is, it reflects the actual cost of raising beef cattle, as opposed to the use of subsidized corn to undercut beef prices). You really must do your own research on this topic. The assertion that beef is in general cruel or unhealthy or wasteful is simply false.

[maurice]

I take the things WHO says with a grain of salt. Follow the money for the truth. Meat (including beef) that is grass fed and cooked rare is more nutrient dense and BIO-AVAILABLE than any food besides breastmilk. The carcinogenic factor only comes into play when cooking too long/ from the char of grilling.

[TraveltheRedRoad]

Beef is 100% a health food. When farmed correctly (read: naturally) it is HUGELY beneficial for the environment ESPECIALLY compared to crop farming, the health benefits of grass fed, pasture raised red meat put it into the bracket of superfood without question. The ONLY carcinogenic concerns with beef is it being so rich in Iron, a vital substance for your bodies health.

I’m a butcher from Scotland, we have the best red meat farming agriculture in the world. If you would like to know more, perhaps to help with a follow up video to correct this misinformation I’d be happy to get in touch with you.

Rib eye. Rare or medium with a good sear, seasoned with just salt, pepper and butter

[JohnTCampbell]

Not healthy?

I went from 300lb and type 2 diabetic to 180lb with perfect bloodwork and cured numerous mental health issues and skin issues eating a diet of about 80% beef.

Guess I'm less healthy now

[ewanwilson]

Love this. You’re combining your love of classic men’s fashion with various other activities and objects to really help men be the best that they can. Really loved this video and can’t wait for part 2.

[AllMenAreBerries]

My favourite is the Porthouse steak because of how incredibly buttery and flavourfull it is

[crinsom]

I wasn’t expecting this channel to make me hungry.

[enzomes]

Another glorious video by GG. Can't wait for part two and three. Thank you, Raphael!

[justinrees]

Find a farmer that raises his cattle responsibly and takes good care of his land. Cows can be beneficial to the environment when managed properly

[RevJamesCostello]

A T-bone for two? Not on your life! All for ME!

[KOJO_WINS]

Respect for acknowledging the health aspect. Too many people dying to pretend like it's not a thing. Enjoy your steaks but don't lie to yourself. It's like enjoying a cigar or some wine on occasion versus several times each day.

[sunglee]

Thank you for such a comprehensive review of steak. Really well done!

[Itamajano]

This channel just keeps getting better and better with time like fine wine!

[Harrypotterxx]

I love seeing this channel grow and become more diverse. Like a proper gentleman, we all must aspire to be educated in different realms of knowledge.

[TheHankoook]

Great video simple and easy to understand keep up the good work and waiting for the second part

[Skipzilla]

Your presentation is amazing. The passion and knowledge of the subject really shines through without being condescending. I look forward to seeing your other videos.

[timothypryor]

This is the only episode of Gentleman's Gazette where I have not learned a single thing. I may not know what to pair with my dinner jacket, but I know my steak. Something they don't mention here that everyone should know, stop buying steaks at a chain grocery store. Find a real butcher shop.

[robertm]

Very informative and enjoyable to watch.
