what steaks do not need marinting

LT72884 · 01-04-2013, 08:10 PM

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

atcNick · 01-04-2013, 08:14 PM

The really cheap ones

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 need more scotch.

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

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!

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.
