I'm looking to pick up a steak that I can split with my gf (we both like our steaks cooked to the same level), and I'm looking for a recommendation on a good cut.

The only caveat is that I will be BBQing the steak. And since I've lived in a condo for the past many many years, I haven't really ever cooked a steak on the BBQ before and I'm not sure if there are cuts to avoid. Or is it pretty much identical to what I would do with the stove/oven.

wagyu is ok but overrated
dry age is disgusting. Not even my dad could finish a slab of 90 day dry age and that fucker has eaten entire conches raw after pulling them out of the ocean

I just pan-fried a top sirloin tonight that I rolled in this spice mix and put in the fridge for 12 hours, actually picked up quite a bit of flavor. I butter basted that bitch too. Also, steak typically comes with sauce, I too am irritated with this "my steak is so good you don't even need sauce" bullshit. There should be sauce.

90 day isn't a level i'd suggest for a first timer.

30-45 day is the most i'd go for a first time dry age eater.

60-90 day it gets pretty funky, which tastes fantastic, but it's a bit of an acquired taste to the funk. Beyond 90 days it gets VERY funky and someone who isn't used to dry aged beef would likely have trouble even eating it.

what would be wrong with adding bacon to that meal?

I don't like sauce that covers up the taste of the steak. At that point I'm just eating tender sauce chunks
