The best steak starts before the pan is hot. At a steak shop in JVC, choosing the right cut and thickness matters more than picking the most expensive label. At Let’s Meat, you can compare the texture and marbling of premium beef cuts and ask the butcher to prepare the steak for your cooking method.
01
Which premium beef cut suits your steak?
Ribeye has generous marbling and a rich, juicy bite. It is a good choice if you enjoy deep beef flavour and a forgiving cut for a hot pan or grill. See our Angus ribeye and grass-fed ribeye.
Striploin balances a defined fat edge with a firmer texture. It browns well and gives the classic steakhouse bite. Explore Angus striploin.
Tenderloin is leaner and especially tender, with a milder flavour. It suits medallions and guests who prefer tenderness to heavy marbling. View Angus tenderloin.
02
Ask your butcher for the right thickness
An even steak cooks more predictably. Tell the butcher whether you will use a pan, barbecue or oven finish, how many people you are serving, and whether you want one large steak to share or individual portions. Matching thicknesses are especially helpful when several steaks need to be ready together.
“I’m cooking steaks in a pan for four people. Please cut the same thickness and advise which ribeye or striploin is best today.”
The team can discuss trimming and portion size. Availability varies, so contact us if you have a particular grade or cut in mind.
03
From fresh steak meat to a better sear
Keep the meat chilled on the way home and follow the storage guidance provided with your purchase. Before cooking, pat the surface dry, season to taste, and use a properly heated pan or grill. Avoid overcrowding: the steak needs direct contact with the hot surface to brown.
- Choose the cut for the texture and flavour you want.
- Ask for an even thickness suited to your cooking method.
- Use a food thermometer if you want a specific doneness.
- Rest the steak briefly after cooking before slicing.
If you are planning a larger meal, our fresh beef guide also covers BBQ cuts and everyday cooking.

Common questions about steak cuts
Which is better for steak: ribeye or striploin?
Choose ribeye for fuller marbling and a richer result. Choose striploin for a firmer bite and a balanced fat edge. Neither is universally better; the right cut depends on your preference.
Can I ask for a specific steak thickness?
Yes. Tell the butcher your cooking method and how many portions you need, and ask for consistent thickness where possible.
