Best Cuts of Steak Best Cuts of Steak

Selecting the best steak can seem overwhelming — there are so many types of cuts to choose from!

At Kansas City Steak Company™ we’ve perfected our processes to ensure that you receive the highest-quality meat at peak flavor. This process includes wet-aging our beef based on the individual cut, vacuum-sealing steaks and last flash freezing with our Flavor Lock System™ to lock in the flavor and tenderness when it’s at its peak.

Ultimately, choosing the best cut of steak is really all about what makes a steak right for you. Consider these 3 main factors:

• How many people you are serving? Are you treating yourself to a great steak, having a few friends over, or feeding a crowd?
• How do you want to cook your steak? Is grilling your favorite method, or do you like to pan-sear or broil your steaks? Are you looking for a great cut to smoke?
• What are your personal taste preferences? Do you prefer the lean tenderness of a beautiful Filet Mignon or T-bone steaks? The rich juiciness of a great Ribeye or specialty steak cuts? Or the versatility of a Top Sirloin Steak?
