Look for plenty of marbling. Loin cuts- Sirloin, NY Strip, fillet mignon, T-Bone and Porterhouse are among the best, along with Rib eye (aka Delmonico).
Do not cook it beyond medium rare- I like it dripping blood myself, but overcooking is the death of any good steak.
Stay away from all round cuts. They are tough as hell unless you marinade them.

Ask the person at the meat counter to pick out a marbelized steak for you. That means that there is some fat in the meat which will keep it tender. Don't overcook it. Never grill a steak past medium rare or med. Use a meat thermometer to be sure.

You have to buy a steak that is made for grilling for it to be tender plus dont over cook it. It you buy filet mignon it will be tender but if you buy chuck steak it wont be because thats made for roasting not grilling.

You dont know. The steak will be tender will you grill it depending on what seasonings you use on it and if you merinade your steak.

Beef Cattle are given so many chemicals, drugs and steroids, there is no way to know if they are even safe, not to mention tender. Try doing what I do, I never eat anything, that ever had a face. It is a good rule to live by.

Filet Mignon all the way, it's worth the cost!!! Also medium to medium rare is a good doneness (pink to warm red in the center). Too done and it's going to be to dry and less flavorful. Enjoy!

Fillet Mignon, dude.
It is very expensive, but worth every penny.
Everything else can be a crapshoot, depending on the abattoir, or grocery store you get it from.

I guess you will find out after you grill it

If it has plenty of "marbling" of fat, it is usually a tender cut of meat.
