Rib eye for me. , biggest problem we have around here where we live we got 3 butchers and they all cut these steaks at about 50 mm thick , we prefer then 1/2 that thick fast cooked on bbq grill , but they do cut thinner if requested with a frown , I have never gotten the reason thick cut meat is better , same for sausages , love a good sausage bbq , and the topper lamb cutlets bbq

Thick steak is definitely trickier to cook, but you can get a nice sear on the outside and still keep it juicy and tender inside.

I find letting it warm up to room temperature makes life easier.

One thing I can't understand is why a lot of butchers sell bacon cut thin. I think most people ask for x number of slices so more weight should result and more turnover should result if the bacon slice is thicker.
I never buy bacon at the big supermarkets as almost all of it is imported . If one looks at the packet contents it becomes evident the only local contribution is the packaging.

Agree, give it a good 30 minutes getting to room temperature while the BBQ is getting hot.
If you want it more tender, salt it and leave in the fridge for 4 hours. Im very precise with the timing, to within 10seconds anyway, of steak depending on the thickness and how each person prefers it.

I like to buy a whole eye fillet and cut it as required in small pieces 50mm x 50mm x 10mm thick. Then cook it tepan style on the hot plate with some chicken, prawns, and atlantic salmon.

I close the lid on the BBQ ...get it real hot when cooking thicker steaks etc .....Rib Fillet is the best for the BBq ..get it cut a little thinner ....most good butchers don't care if you are getting a 2.5kg piece to cut thinner if you prefer it thinner

Woolworths got rid of their butchers a few years ago and Coles did the same. Sacked or repositioned about 1500 of them last month. I have 3 butchers I go to regularly, they all cut exactly what I want. One of them has a ruler to get it exact. I sometimes ask for a few steaks 50mm or 30mm and sometimes 55mm.

Our main Woolies still has a butcher but they don’t get set up on a Saturday till about 9 and I’ve left by then.

Just made a vegan curry was surprisingly very nice.

There's a misconception about thick steaks are better, yes whilst they look nice they in my opinion not as tender than a thinner steak sealed quickly and cooked to medium mmmm tasty.
Contrary to that is a thicker steak cooked properly usually is juiciest
