what steaks do not need marinting

LT72884 · Jan 4, 2013

Ello all, i know this is an odd question but sometimes when i grab a steak at the store that is not a NY steak or ribeye, im not sure if i should marinate or not. haha

So i am curious to what cuts of steaks should be marinated

Your post title asks a negative and your poll asks a positive. I answered in the negative because I was too lazy to read the positive question in the poll since I thought the thread title was the actual question.

So, I don't think any of the steaks you listed need to be marinated.

Hmmmm. On a 'regular basis' threw me off.... I will say I usually do marinate flank or skirt steaks. And sometimes marinate sirloin, chuck or tri-tip steaks.

Getting off of beef, I generally marinate lamb racks which would actually be teeny rib steaks..... and sometimes marinate pork steaks, or chops.

I like to marinade myself with a good Scotch. Does that count?:-D

On topic......the tougher, cheaper cuts I would marinade. Ribeyes, NY Strips, T Bones, I wouldn't. Sometimes I might hit em with a few dashes of wooster if that counts as a fast marinade.

You can marinate whatever kind of steak you want. There is nothing wrong with marinating a new york strip or a ribeye, or even a filet mignon for that matter. If you want a certain flavor profile, then go for it. In fact, I'd rather marinate a good cut of meat than a cheap one.

True. On a good cut, the flavor profile I'm looking for is...............BEEF!:biggrin1: And some beef fat flavor too. A light dusting of some salt, pepper or even a good rub is perfect.

I will NOT marinade a ribeye, unless at gunpoint, and even then, I'd have to think about it.

The only steaks I would marinade would be cheap cuts, that need some acid to tenderize them, or cuts with little flavor.

I dont really marinate any steak. I do season them but thats about it but if you like the taste of marinated steaks then go for it, vive la difference

Salt and pepper 10 minutes before they go on the grill.

I'm just saying that if I'm in the mood for a flavor profile that might be provided by a marinade, I'd rather have it on a good cut of beef. IMO, marinade is not something I'd use to make a bad cut of meat good. My "Drunken Ribeye" is a fantastic steak. It would be much less fantastic on a cruddy cut of meat.

Dirty D rub on a steak, twice baked spuds and bud:eyebrows: hell some times I use A1 on my steak off to the side, I like to have options not cause my steak needs flavor but cause A1 sauce is the chit:shocked: on steak every once in a while :hungry:

I rarely marinate steaks. (except for skirt steak or flap meat) I have been served to many steaks ruined by marinade. (Italian dressing comes to mind) I had a friend over for dinner, she is an incredibly fussy eater. I served grilled top sirloin, rare for the family, medium rare for her. She said that the steak was amazing and asked what I seasoned it with. I loved the look on her face when I said "nothing, but the kiss of the fire".

I save the brine for me...(beer) beef is too dense for it to do anything..MAYBE a finishing sauce or a Merlot reduction for a tri tip / sirloin/strips...HOWEVER a properly cooked piece of beef is simple...salt...pepper..and maybe garlic / oinion / rosemary all beef should be kisd..(keep it simple dummy) as I am too lazy to get caried away with a great meat....
