Choosing the Right Cut of Beef for Grilling

There’s something magical about grilling—whether it's meat, veggies, or even fruit. The smoky aroma, the sizzling sounds, and that perfect char on the outside make every bite unforgettable. But when it comes to grilled beef, the key is choosing the right cut. Here are five tips to help you grill like a pro.

#1 Preheat Your Grill

A hot grill is your best friend when it comes to grilling beef. The high heat sears the meat quickly, locking in juices and creating that delicious crust. Make sure your grill is fully heated before placing any meat on it. A good option? Our PGS Grill Residential A-Series, which delivers consistent and intense heat for perfect results every time.

#2 Look for Marbling

Marbling refers to the small flecks of fat within the meat. It's what keeps the steak juicy and flavorful. Cuts like ribeye, T-bone, or New York strip are excellent choices because of their rich marbling. Avoid overly lean cuts unless you're planning to cook them low and slow.

#3 Keep It Simple

Salt and pepper are all you need to season a great steak. Over-seasoning can mask the natural flavor of the beef. When you take the steak off the grill, give it a light sprinkle of sea salt just before serving. It makes all the difference.

#5 Oil with Care

If you’re using oil, don’t just brush it on—dip the steak into the oil instead. This ensures the seasoning sticks better. Use a blend like canola and olive oil in a 90/10 or 80/20 ratio for the best results.

#5 Let It Rest

After grilling, always let the meat rest for at least 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, so you get a more tender and flavorful bite. Don't skip this step—it’s crucial for a juicy steak.

Now that you know how to grill like a pro, here's how to choose the right beef for your next barbecue:

When selecting beef for grilling, there are plenty of options. For burgers, a 50/50 mix of ground chuck and sirloin gives the perfect balance of flavor and juiciness. If you're going for a steak, go for cuts like porterhouse, T-bone, or ribeye—these have the ideal amount of marbling. For larger cuts, try roasting a beef roast over indirect heat to avoid drying it out. Our PGS series grill features a built-in timer, making it easier to keep track of cooking times without worrying about overcooking.

Flank steak is another great option for grilling. Try this easy Carne Asada recipe: marinate 2 pounds of flank steak overnight in a mixture of lime juice, garlic, orange juice, cilantro, salt, pepper, olive oil, jalapeño, and vinegar. Then grill for 7–10 minutes per side. It’s a quick and tasty way to enjoy grilled beef.

Gas grills offer several advantages over charcoal. They provide cleaner heat without the smoky aftertaste, and they’re easier to control. Plus, modern gas grills use advanced technology like ceramic plates or lava rocks to create the perfect radiant heat. You can even add a smoke box to get that authentic smoky flavor without using charcoal.

Whether you're a seasoned griller or just starting out, choosing the right cut of beef and following these simple steps will help you create a mouthwatering meal every time. So fire up the grill, grab your favorite cut, and enjoy the flavors of summer!
