I personally like Filet Mognon or Rib eye the best because they are the most tender.  And I perfer Rib eye over filet because of the better favor.8 _' Q" M- R+ p( D, I

Steak is best grill on open fire or special high tempature oven.

You guys have to try grilling steak on open fire.
8 u. I( n* O6 h" h. }" TIt's the best because you don't need to add any oil, and keep the raw favor of the steak.% A$ b% b* e. P: n1 J& S. I

Another thing to know when buying steak is "aging".$ c4 u4 f# n0 @+ q! B( Y3 M& K

Aging is a process that store the steak in a low temputare enviroment for usually 28 days or more.  This process make the steak taste better.  There are 2 kind of agina method, "dry age" and "wet age".  "dry aged" steak is more expensive and is perfered + A- k0 l+ R& X( ^) y

6 U8 x' k/ [- aSo aged steak cost more than fresh steak.  The price difference can be more than double for a aged steak in north america.  The best steak house always served dry aged steak.  So next time the you go to a resturant, you know what kind of stuff they are serving you.
