Ahhh the taste of meat! Welcome fellow omnivore.
Red meat aka steak comes in many forms.
How you like it cooked, and what it is that you like about the taste, has alot to do with the cut you'll prefer.
And your method of cooking.
I prefer mine grilled rare nice and juicy seasoned only with salt and pepper.
My preference is to pick the best beef tenderloin, about 1.5" - 2" thick. I use a "monterey" steak seasoning but it's basically a cracked pepper and course ground salt.
Always make sure your heat source it at full temp before starting to cook.
An old line cook once taught me to tell the difference between rare to well by holding your non dominant hand out palm up, keeping it relaxed fold your fingertips in, then using your other index finger to press on your hand just above your wrist. Pressing lightly from your "thumb pad" to your pinky side will be Well to Rare. You'll eventually learn the feel for it.
Real important when you get stuck running the grill at your next family outing.
I let my steaks sit on the grill for about 2 minutes or until a good mark has developed, I then turn the steak 90degrees and let another couple of minutes go by, then FLIP the steak over and repeat the process. WahLah true square grill marks. If you know the amount of time it takes to cook it your way, adjust accordingly.
Now for some fun. Fresh rosemary is God's gift to steak. Take a sprig and strip the leaves.. using a knife make a nice sharp tip and insert into your red meat cut of choice more if it's a large cut. Cook as usual and then enjoy the incredible flavors. *Oh yeah don't forget to remove them before eating
