The Food Lab's Top 10 Tips for Grilling Season
There's not all that much to great grilling. I mean, it's just fire plus meat (and the occasional piece of greenery), right? But there's some subtlety involved, and a few rules that are worth remembering in order to make the most of your flame. Here are 10 things to keep in mind.Knife Skills: How to Trim and Portion Tenderloin Steaks
Because beef tenderloin is so small (about 6 pounds total per animal), it is one of the most expensive cuts available, generally running upwards of $20 per pound when trimmed and portioned. But if you buy the muscle whole and untrimmed, this cost can be cut down by about half. Here's how to trim and portion it yourself.Illustrated Guide to Steak Cuts, Plus Grilling Tips

There are a whole lot of mail-order steaks out there. Even Donald Trump has gotten into the act with his Sharper Image beef. But at their best, like at Peter Luger's or Lobel's, mail-order steaks are really good and really expensive. But a few weeks ago I had a flat-iron steak from Lobel's that was killer and downright reasonable. The flat-iron cut is also known as top blade steak, and it's both very beefy and very tender, an usual combination in a moderately priced piece of beef ($15.98 plus shipping). Lobel's never freezes its meat, they only ship meat that is at least prime-graded, and if you've never had a flat-iron steak before, it will be a revelation....Cook the Book: Steaks, By Cut
With all the talk today in the nation's various food sections about grilling and steak, I thought it would be fitting to feature a steak-related tip from What's a Cook to Do?, James Patterson's extremely useful book of kitchen tips that explains almost everything. After the jump, Steaks, by Cut. And, thanks to the good folks at Artisan Books, we're giving away five (5) copies of this enormously helpful book....Prime Ego, Prime Rib: Introducing Trump Steaks
Donald Trump, billionaire, owner* of the world's most famous combover, and now purveyor of over-priced meats? He recently launched his latest venture, Trump Steaks, selling USDA Prime Certified Angus Beef filet mignon, New York strip, rib eye, porterhouse, and steak burgers, to be distributed exclusively through his website and, as Grub Street said, the "appropriately eighties" Sharper Image. The meats are packaged in four collections: Classic, the cheapest, includes four steaks and twelve burgers, and costs $199; the priciest is Connoisseur, which has sixteen steaks, twenty-four burgers and will set you back a whopping $999—and that's before shipping, which is presumably not free. Trump touts the fact that his steaks are "selected so that their beef meets nine additional...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
