According to the Wyoming Beef Council, beef is a Billion dollar industry in Wyoming and there are way more cows in the state than people. In a report from beef 2 live.com, there are approximately 2.18 cattle for every person in the state. That ranks 5th on the people to cattle list in the country.

We've all heard that beef is what's for dinner, but do you know what to look for when choosing that beef? If you were to ask me what my favorite meal is, I'd have to say steak. Honestly, I've never met a steak I wouldn't eat, but there are some that could be better. Knowing what to look for when buying a steak is always a good idea.

I've always been a big fan of the New York Strip, but there are plenty more cuts to choose from when picking out your steak.

When you're going through the meat isle at the grocery store or when you walk into one of the many butcher shop's in central Wyoming, it can be a little intimidating.

Here are some of the top steaks to grill in Wyoming from the Beef Council.
