Favorite steak cut?

[Declaration Day]

Oh, yeah! Ribeye! Hands down! Greasiest steak there is; therefore, the best!!

Declaration Day: especially like the marbling on the right. Have to find some third coast to try.

Dinner was superb.  We ate like kings tonight.  Bob F, find Third Coast if you can, but make sure it's Third Coast Old Ale, not Third Coast Beer.  Same company, waaay different product.  Expect to pay $15 for a six-pack.

BTW, I'm a big Black Angus porterhouse fan, myself.

However, there's a bison ranch just north of me, and I'm working a deal where the owner lets me cull my own from the herd using my Sharps.  I just cast another batch of 535gr Postells, and hopefully, one will be used to fill the freezer in the not-too-distant future.  I've even gotten my picky wife to enjoy buffalo burgers, so I know the excursion will be met with approval.    

Nice, had I asked the guy probably would have let me shoot it (have a Shiloh Sharps myself) but shooting a penned stationary animal is not exactly hunting for me so no big deal either way.  Then again he might not..  he did not separate it away from the herd, just shot it when it was near the edge.  He might not trust somebody else to do that.

One of the least flavorful, most mediocre steaks I have ever had in my life was at Mortons in McLean, Virginia.

Fortunately, I was not paying for it. The boss was.

And why is it that the majority of people seem to gravitate towards just such places? (rhetorical question)

[K Frame]

False cachet, mostly.

I always thought Ponderosa had some pretty good steaks.

There was a place where I grew up called Rustler. It was a chain, long since failed.

They had FANTASTIC steaks.

Ribeye's a little too fatty for me.  I prefer a perfectly cooked PRIME top sirloin baseball cut.   Of course, the steaks I got in Las Vegas last weekend were great.  Both were prime filet mignons (tenderloins), with exquisite sauces.

Sauce?  Sauce?  Burn the heretic!

[K Frame]

Hell, a good steak with a pan sauce made from its own drippings is a thing of beauty.

A little cream, a little cognac, some herbs and pepper?

Not heresy.

Ecstasy.

Must be the Montanan in me, steak is cooked over fire.  Any drippings are burned away.

Yeah, I normally do my steak on the grill, but these ribeyes I decided to do on the stove in a cast iron pan.

I didn't feel like trying to deal with the grill and keep my idiot dog's nose away from the steak at the same time.

[BobR]

I normally buy a porterhouse 1.5-2 inches thick. I will get one with a good sized filet on it. My wife prefers that piece, while I really enjoy the New York strip side.

Even splitting it between us, there is too much meat.

Nobody needs more than 5oz., 6oz tops, of meat at one time.

yeah but need and want are two very very different things 

[The Annoyed Man]

As in 'after you eat all that red meat for years, you're gonna NEED both bypass and prostate surgery, but you won't WANT either one.'

Like that?     

[lupinus]

And if you and yours have your way paddy I wont have to pay a dime for it

This is America, not California.  We get to decide for ourselves how much we need, want, or deserve.

I don't think he hates America.

I believe that when they took out his prostate, the neighboring orifice took that as an opportunity to direct The Paddy McRiley Show for good.

Uh, I still have my prostate.  Maybe you're confusing me with grampster.  Or maybe you're just a victim of early onset dementia.
