Favorite Steak?

[TheCount]

A cooked one.

We've been running the braised lamb shanks as specials at the store in the winter months. Great seller. The meat falls off the bone which actually is a bit of a problem for presentation. We started selling it on a bed of lobster risotto but ended up putting the shank itself inside of a serving boat.

Those look good, thinking about getting some to try making osso bucco. Only problem is my wife and daughter aren't keen on veal.

Did you like it?

yes

A medium well sirloin?

Might as well eat a hamburger.

you havent had one cooked right obviously

Filet mignon and porterhouse are my 2 favorites. Medium is my favorite way to eat it but occasionally I do like medium rare. Not a fan of well done.

When you cook a steak well done the cow's soul cries that its body was wasted. Pretty well known fact among cattlemen.

High five.

When I'm finally executed for my various excesses in this life, my last meal will be either a Porterhouse or a Delmonico, seared (black on the outside, medium rare on the inside)... some sauteed mushrooms and a good baked potato drowning in butter and sour cream...

Amen. When you a big fat steak and you char it medium rare, the nice crust on the outside is the perfect complement to the nice pink meat on the inside.

Anyone here ever try blackened ribeye? Rub a ribeye with a spicy cajun seasoning (actually called blackening seasoning) and brush it with butter. Then throw it in a smokin hot cast iron skillet to char the outside. Heavenly...

Why not get a porterhouse and you get the best of both worlds (flavor vs. tenderness)?

Bingo!

 

[YosemiteSam]

Ribeye, but I don't eat them anymore due to the extremely high fat content. I've switched for the most part to the NY Strip.

As for the porterhouse, I avoid them due to their size. Not that I can't eat it, it's just a lot of red meat to be consuming at once.

You're right. I've never had a medium well steak cooked right. No one has, cause it ain't cooked right if it's medium well.

Go eat a hamburger or some jerkey -- much cheaper.

No need to bash people for the way the like their steak cooked. Personally, I can't eat practically raw red meat either. Taste to much like iron. I don't like it well done either as it makes the steak dry.

How someone likes a steak cooked is an opinion plain and simple. There is no right or wrong even though most people who prefer medium or less cooked meat are generally bullheaded about the thought and declare it fact.

Try this technique of cooking your next really thick slab of meat. You won't be sorry!

Man I have to try that

We all aren't lawyers pulling in 200k a year like you, theo. We poh.

Try a skirt steak if you are on a budget. Half the price, and if you slice it thin against the grain it is just as tender as a filet and has much more flavor.

Perfect for fajitas too.

Slicing in to a steak having blood gush out turns my stomach and if I'm eating a steak I want to eat steak not fat. If I want to eat fat I'll eat some bacon.

Same here. I can take slightly pink in the middle, (prefer it that way) but if it's red or still bleeding, I can't eat it. The flavor of raw blood makes me sick to my stomach.

If it's completely cooked though, the steak tends to get dry. If you are going to cook it like that, a good ribeye is the only way to go.

Agreed. My wife likes hers well done plus. Not my style, but it makes her happy so I throw her steak on a few minutes before the others. My kids on the other hand, all love their steaks medium to medium rare.

Excellent point. I love skirt steak. I'll serve this when I have a group of people over, but don't feel like springing for ribeyes all around.

Another one I had never heard of until I moved from AZ to CA is the tri-tip. Man, that is a fantastic cut of beef and great for groups. I love to throw mine in the smoker for a couple of hours with some red oak, then finish on the grill.

Why not? If you told me you like to wear pink bows in your hair, I'd bash you for that too.
