My answer is Porterhouse. Thick, perhaps 25 ounces, sometimes with Cajun spices.
God, I'm hungry.

Dola: The best cut actually is the strip and filet cut at Longhorns.

Any steak will do, as long as it's mesquite smoked and cooked medium. Nice and juicy, yumm..............
Oh, and by the way, the best steakhouse in the world is Cattleman's Steakhouse at Indian Cliffs Ranch. It's out in the middle of the desert about thirty minutes outside of El Paso. Best damn steaks (not to mention beans, cole slaw, mushrooms, desserts) you'll find anywhere...

Never, NEVER, never-never-never-never EVER would I ruin a steak by serving fungus with it.
Onions, yes. Mushrooms, absolutely freakin' not. Sorry...I don't like mushrooms.

uummmmmm....what defines "good"?
"best" cut--> Filet Mignon (least fat) Most flavorful cut-->RIBEYE!!! ('the "marbling" of the fat, gives it a nice flavor throughout) best compromise--> Strip When I'm *REAL* hungry?--> Big ol' porterhouse, baby!

A porterhouse and a T-bone are pretty close to the same thing.
My choice would be a ribeye also |

Sauteed mushrooms go on the side, to be eaten by themselves, not on the steak. Mushrooms rock! Oh, and onions are the most disgusting food ever (except for onion rings)...

OK. I WAS able to edit the poll. Also, I change a setting to allow people to change their vote in polls from now on.

I'm a T-Bone Steak guy. That's just a beautiful think cut of steak. Not the leanest thing in the world, but man, it's juicy.

Now I'm really hungry! One of the things I miss about Texas are the steak houses. It seems like there is a steak house at every corner in Texas and some damn good ones too!

My step dad used to be a chef. One of the first things he taught me to make was a filet mignon with a light mushroom sauce. I've made it so much it's now my specialty (along with pop tarts and scrambled hamburger)
Outside of that, give me a nice big T-Bone and I'm a very happy guy. TroyF |

How selective are you in picking out steaks if you grill them on your own?

Re: Favorite Cut of Steak
The older I get, the pickier I get about selecting meats to grill/cook. Also, a word to the wise - if you don't see what you like in the grocery meat section, ask the butcher to cut it for you.
Anyone out there a fan of Omaha Steaks (mail-order)? We received a gift for Christmas (6 ounce top sirloins, not bad), but just received a pretty awesome offer in the mail. Tons of meat for $59.95. Just curious if anyone was a big fan.

I've had Omaha Steaks in the past. The cuts I got were good sized and of decent quality. Broiled them in the oven a few weeks ago...mmmm. Their hamburgers are really good, too....

I've used them before. Sometimes they will have specials that turn out to be pretty good deals. However, for me I haven't been able to determine a significant difference in the quality of meat to justify the extra cost. That plus a somewhat irritating telemarketing effort they have recently started has turned me off to ordering from them. As far as the "tons of meat" check the oz. you'll be getting. I've noticed that I get interested in a deal, only to realize I'd be getting 4 - 6 oz. ribeyes or something. Then when I think about the fact that it would take two 6 oz. ribeyes for me to have a meal, I realize it isn't as great as it sounded at first. They tend to offer larger quantities, but in smaller portions.

Marinated Sirloin with Guinness Sauce
Four servings 1 1/2 cups Guinness stout 1 1/2 cups chicken stock or broth 2 sprigs thyme 1 teaspoon Worchestershire sauce 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 1 bay leaf 4 sirloin strip steaks, 10 oz. each & about 1 1/2 inch thick, well trimmed Freshly ground black pepper to taste 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut in 4 pieces, at refrigerator temperature 1. Combine the Guinness, stock, thyme, Worcestershire, pepper, and bay leaf in a deep dish that can hold the marinade and the steaks. Add the steaks, cover the dish, and refrigerate for 8 hours, turning the steaks at least once. 2. When ready to cook, remove the steaks from the marinade, pat them dry and sprinkle with pepper. Pour the marinade into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce by half, skimming any foam or scum that rises to the surface. Pour the marinade through a fine mesh strainer into a small saucepan. 3. Heat a broiler or grill to 425 degrees. Broil or grill the steaks, turning once and allowing 10 minutes for medium-rare. Reheat the sauce but do not boil. Whisk in the cold butter, one piece at a time, until it is totally incorporated into the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, if desired. Spoon some over each steak and pass the remainder at the table. 4. Serve with potatoes and a bright green vegetable such as broccoli. Pour Guinness or a syrah wine from France or Australia. |
