Eli5 if marbling is so important, why is filet mignon such a desirable cut of beef?”

Question

I like ribeye and stuff like that. Also can you grill filet and is that good?

Answer 1

My find of the summer, tri-tip. Grill it up for $4.99/lb and it’s a juicy ball of goodness. You will have grease fires so be prepared to move the meat around, but all that carmelized fat is worth it.

Don’t grill fillet over a flame, it’s good but I agree it’s not my favorite either.
