When it’s time to celebrate a big milestone in life, sometimes only a steak will do.

But what most people think about when choosing a steak to eat is the cut.

However, the survey reported that only 5% of participants voted it their favorite.

Just 13% claimed the tomahawk was the best cut of steak.

Skirt steak brought in 16% of the votes for the best cut.
