Our mission: Help you find the best cheesesteaks in Philadelphia, because, while often imitated around the world, the authentic Philly cheesesteak is rarely duplicated successfully outside of Philadelphia. (Sorry, not sorry.)

Without further ado, here are our picks for notable cheesesteak spots. The list is organized by area, so you can sample more than one sandwich on any single outing and choose your favorite or favorites (consider yourself in a no-judgment zone).

The ribeye is situated high on the back of the cow. Its beautiful marbling makes it ideal for dry aging and produces some of our most popular cuts - including our ribeye steaks, rib chops and rib roasts. These cuts are best for grilling, roasting, searing, or frying.

The short loin is where we find some of the most desirable cuts of meat. These include T-bones, Porterhouse Steaks, Strips, and the Tenderloin. The tenderloin, which can be cut into filet mignon steaks, actually starts in the short loin and continues into the sirloin. A whole tenderloin is removed from both sections, trimmed to about 3.5lbs and sold as a roast. The strip steak is found one of two ways, the boneless New York Strip or the bone-in Kansas City Strip - both considered among the higher-end cuts of beef.

Steaks from the short loin are cut starting at the rib end and working toward the back of the animal. The first-cut steaks are strip steaks, next are T-bones, and two or three porterhouse steaks are available at the sirloin end.

Cook steaks from the short loin at high heat from the start, in a broiler or hot grill, to get a good sear on the exterior. Then finish the steak slowly over lower heat, until a meat thermometer placed in the center is a perfect rare to medium-rare (120-125F).

DeBragga fabricates the top sirloin into steaks that are good for grilling, such as our American Wagyu Top Sirloin. The bottom of the sirloin is usually divided into three main components - the tri-tip, ball tip, and the sirloin flap.

Skirt steak is the diaphragm muscle and is extremely flavorful. It's also a thin piece of meat, allowing you to cook it quickly over high heat. Because it has coarse muscle fibers, slice it against the grain or it will be chewy.

The loin section, found between the shoulder and the leg on both sides of the backbone, contains some of the most popular cuts: tenderloin, sirloin, blade end, chop and the center loin. This section features less fatty but very tender, cuts covered by a layer of fatback. At DeBragga, this is where we get both the Gloucester Old Spot pork chops and porterhouse chops.

Spareribs come from the lower ribs of the pig where they meet the breastbone. With their high fat content, spareribs are a rich and succulent part of the pig, most often served barbecued so the fat drips away as it melts. There can be no better example than the Gloucester Old Spot spare ribs. The heritage breed has an excellent fat-to-meat ratio and deliciously rich-tasting meat.

The Lamb Loin is generally sold as a half loin (the full primal cut is a saddle including both sides) and is "trimmed" by removal of the flank, which is rather small in any case and mostly tough membranes. The whole loin is a very meaty cut and includes the short loin part of the tenderloin and loin chops. They are quite meaty, containing only a thin T-shaped bone. They are actually mini T-Bone and Porterhouse steaks!

Despite its mouth-watering qualities, ribeye is among the most expensive cuts of meat and therefore is the number one candidate to swap for a cheaper cut of steak. According to Jerome and Dommen, there are a number of beef and steak cuts that can ably stand in for ribeye, offering up value for the budget-conscious without sacrificing on flavor and texture. Choose from these seven, expert-endorsed cuts to save money grilling.

"Strip steak is incredibly tender and can be a tasty substitute for ribeye," said Jerome. It's also one of the closest in flavor to everyone's favorite steak. The major difference between the two cuts is marbling; ribeye has more internal marbling throughout the cut, which accounts for its tenderness and flavor. Strip steak tends to have a thick band of fat on the outside of the cut that generally isn't eaten, but which contributes to its equally robust flavor.

Jerome also adds that you can easily tease out more portions in a strip steak. "You can cut a strip steak in half for smaller portioned strip filets," he said. "Not only does it increase your portions, but it's also perfect paired with fresh veggies for an easy weeknight dinner."

As with all cuts of meat, if you find something on sale you should stock up and freeze portions for later, but with strip, Jerome also advises considering buying whole and doing a little bit of your own butchering for added savings. "With a whole striploin, you can save up to $2 per pound by buying in bulk and cutting down your own strip steaks at home," he said. "On average, a striploin weighs 14 to 15 pounds, so that could be an average savings of up to $28 to $30."

If you're craving the tenderness of ribeye, Jerome suggests the flat iron steak as a worthy alternative. "The flat iron steak is the second most tender cut of beef, behind the beef tenderloin," he said. While beef tenderloin is generally not recommended for high-heat grilling because of its delicate nature, the flat iron has the required marbling to match the grill's intensity. "These steaks are known for their rich beef flavor and are well-marbled," he said. "That makes this cut stand out above others and it can be used in a variety of ways."

Sirloin is a primal cut, further down toward the rump of the animal from the rib. Steaks cut from muscles get more work than ribeye, which also makes them a leaner choice for grilling. "Sirloin steaks are a great budget-friendly option chock-full of flavor," said Jerome, who also suggests cutting sirloin steaks into smaller pieces for another budget-stretching, grill preparation: kabobs. "Top sirloin steaks are a great option to have something lean but also tender and flavorful for your beef kabobs."

Because a flank steak is so large, coming from just above the belly in the rear quarter of the animal, it qualifies as buying in bulk unto itself. It's therefore a terrific, budget-friendly option for your cookout. "Flank steak is a versatile cut that's perfect for fajitas," said Jerome. That makes it another preparation that's great for the grill and easy to feed a crowd with. Because of its natural leanness, however, a marinade is a good way to ensure some added tenderness before grilling.

"Acidic marinades with vinegar or lime juice are better suited for flank steak than dry rubs," said Jerome, "and the longer you marinate, the better, even up to 24 hours. Add pantry olive oil and spices to your acidic base and you're ready to go."

Short ribs come from an area near the prime rib, coming from the chuck, not actually from the rib as the name suggests. (This is why beef requires experts.) While ribeye comes from the top of the animal, short ribs are closer to the belly. Short ribs for braising are typically sold bone-in and in shorter pieces, but you can ask your butcher for boneless short ribs that are cut in longer pieces for steak.

"Chuck eye steaks are sometimes referred to as a 'butchers' steak,'" said Jermone. And it bodes well for the cut's quality if butchers are hoarding them. Chuck is a cut at the very top and front of the animal, from which ground meat is often processed, so if you've ever grilled burgers, you're already accustomed to putting chuck on the grill.

"The steak gets its nickname because years ago butchers would keep this steak for themselves because it cooked and tasted like a ribeye while being more budget-friendly," said Jerome. "This steak sits right next to the ribeye primal and therefore inherits a lot of the same qualities you would get from a ribeye."

If all else fails when planning your grill festivities, consider that other types of meat can also fill in for beef steak when you're trying to save money. "The key is that the pork chop is nice and thick so that you can get a great sear by the time it's cooked," Dommen said. "Cutting into a double-cut pork chop is as satisfying as cutting into a steak."

You should also consider extending your budget by choosing dishes and meals that call for less steak per person than simply steak for steak's sake. "Beef is a highly versatile ingredient," Jerome said. In addition to kabobs and fajitas, mentioned above, "beef up any salad for a quick easy meal or pair sliced steak with a grain and lots of veggies to make it stretch in a delicious stir fry or bowl with Mexican or Mediterranean flavors."

Steak tips can come from two areas of the cow. One kind comes from tender, expensive cuts in the middle of the cow, such as the tenderloin. These tips are a superior cut but not what we consider to be a true steak tip, which should be a more pedestrian cut that is magically transformed into a desirable dish through marinating and cooking. If the steak tips at your market cost $8 to $10 per pound, the meat likely comes from the tenderloin.

Also, pork steaks will generally include some bones. These bones are not difficult to deal with and effortless to eat around. Because of the thickness, bones, and overall fattiness of pork steaks, they need a longer cooking time than leaner chops like loin. The plus side is that pork steaks are more forgiving because of the excellent marbling, giving you more protection from overcooking. Pork steak can be pan seared, grilled, or broiled in the oven. If cooking high-quality pork, its totally fine to eat the meat medium to medium rare. But if your unsure about pinkish pork or using standard supermarket cuts, cook to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. 041b061a72
