How to Cook a Steak with Butter Sauce
It’s a great month to try some sizzling recipes, this post is about how to cook a steak with delicious butter sauce. November is a big month for cooking – with Thanksgiving cooking, Turkeys, sauces, potatoes, and gravy. It’s nice to diverge from the bird and try some cow with great steak. I try to be as vegan as possible, but it’s nice to have a good steak once in a while – to control the cow population.
Personally, I try to practice a moderate amount of veganism, but it’s hard to be full green for me. A delicious steak is a good thing now and then, and you know someone has to eat the cows – we don’t want them to overpopulate. A zesty butter sauce can really add a great deal of zing to the taste and can be just plain delicious.

How to Cook a Steak – Picking a Delicious Steak
Not all types of steak are created equal: Some are tender and rich with fabulous marbling, while others are lean and require a little TLC—often in the form of a marinade—to yield moist, tender results. We’ll take you through the many types of steaks available at the supermarket. You’ll find guidelines on what to look for when buying steak, as well as which types of steaks to choose, depending on the cooking method you prefer.
No matter which type of steak you buy, keep these guidelines in mind:
- The meat should have good color and appear moist but not wet.
- Any cut edges should be even, not ragged.
- When buying packaged meats, avoid those with tears or with liquid in the bottom of the tray.
- The meat should feel firm and cold to the touch.
How to Cook a Steak: Types of Steak
In the sections below, we’ll tell you the most common types of steak you’ll find in the supermarket today, including the best way to cook each cut. Take a look, and you’ll become a steak expert in no time.
If you’re looking for a steak-buying hack, here’s a cheat sheet of the best cuts of meat, depending on what you’re looking for:
- Most Tender Steak: Beef tenderloin steak is the top choice if tenderness is your goal.
- Best Cuts of Meat for Special Occasions: Though pricey, beef tenderloin, top loin, T-bone, and ribeye steaks are among the richest, most opulent steaks money can buy.
- Best Beef Steak Cuts for Grilling: Many cuts fill the bill, including top loin, T-bone, tenderloin, and ribeye. While flank steak, skirt steak, and tri-tip steak are also good grillers, marinate them beforehand for best results. Sirloin steak is also a good choice, though it can dry out quickly if overcooked.
Sirloin cuts come from a section of the animal located between the loin (which is very tender) and the round (a tough section in the back). While sirloin steaks are not as tender as cuts from the loin (e.g., filets, strip steaks, and T-bone/porterhouse steaks), they’re more tender than beef steak cuts from the round. Full of rich, beefy flavor, sirloin steak is one of the more inexpensive types of steaks. These quick-cooking steaks are also one of the best cuts of meat to choose when you’re in a hurry.
* Tip: Keep a close eye on sirloin steaks during cooking, as they can dry out quickly when overcooked.
