Thank you! I honestly don’t know the differences aside from flank or skirt steak. Eaters have had steak a couple times at restaurants but don’t know exactly what they want (soft/tender so I’m thinking not skirt steak).

Yay for you for making a memory for them! If turns out perfectly, can be the year you did perfect steaks. If not so great, they get to smile whenever later they remember the year we asked for steaks!!?! Seriously, you can’t lose on this one for trying. Good luck! And remember to make (or buy!) something for you to have as a treat too!

Sure I’ll slap an apron on my 12 yo on Christmas Day…

Get the eaters to agree on doneness. You can peek with a tiny cut after it has flipped.

Thank you! What should I look for, sirloin??

They are all good. You may want to give it a try. wait until pan heats and don't flip them (only flip once).

Thank you!

Op here, teen + tween who can make some things but this might be a bit beyond them.

Family members want steak on Christmas. I’m a vegetarian. What’s the most foolproof cut of meat / preparation? I don’t have a grill but I have one of those grill pans for the stove, and an oven. Thanks for any help!!
