I'm coming to your place for dinner, Bob. My favorite is also a big ol' Ribeye, medium rare, salt and pepper only. Not too fond of baked potatoes, though. Got any mashed potatoes? A glass of Cabernet Sauvignon, or a good porter or stout will do for drinks.

Ribeye, medium rare, salt, pepper, garlic salt (cumin in Ecuador). Carmelized onions and mushrooms cooked in butter, twice baked potatoes, and good ol' Indiana sweet corn.

Bone and fat is what flavors a good cut. But, of course it adds weight and therefore price. I like my ribeyes nicely marbled with a good half inch of fat 'round the edges.


No steak sauce of any kind please...My wife's girlfriend came to dinner awhile back and I fixed a nice meal with grilled ribeye as the main course. She had the audacity to smother her entire steak with ketchup. Oh the humanity...

Call me a traditionalist, but I like the good 'ol T-Bone. There is a place in San Antonio called the Little Red Barn that makes the best T-Bone steaks. They come in three sizes: small, medium, large, and the "King of Steaks" (this is actually a huge porterhouse). They leave just enough fat around the edge to give it an amazing flavor (even the fat tastes good). It is juicy, tender, and tasty. If you're a steak fan, and you are ever in San Antonio, find your way there. Ask a local, we all know about the "Little Red Barn."
 
Ah Porterhouse. MY second favorite cut. That one sounds like something I would like too.
There is a restaurant around somewhere where they have a 3 pound porterhouse. If you can eat it all in an hour and a half it is free. :eek:
I don't think I could do it unless I didn't eat for three days but I have a friend who just might be able to do it. :p

regards to all,

J

There is a place in the Texas Panhandle (Lubbock or Amarillo) like that, but you have to each the whole meal, which includes salad, a large baked potato, and two slices of Texas toast. If I ever want to have a heart attack or expolde, that is the place I'll go.

Can't say I have a favorite steak. As long as it's medium rare I'm game (there's a Rodney Dangerfield joke here). But my father makes an awesome potato salad to go with steaks. Apart from potatoes it contains finely chopped radish, corn and chive. All mixed together with a nice vinegrette with an italian salad spices mixture. Served lukewarm.

Today is Midsummer's Eve. In Sweden this means eating herring (usually pickled) and potatoes (while drinking schnaps and beer), and later in the evening barbeque. Oh and not to forget strawberries with cream. I'm taking care of the beer and schnaps though, and don't know what steaks we'll barbeque.

What will they do to you if you don't eat it all?

I'd guess if I had to choose a specific meat, it'd be filet mignon. All this typing is making me hungry for beef.

What, no desert with the meal? :)

I like a nice BIG rib eye (or two), medium, grilled on real charcoal (no gas grills for me), with a baked potato (butter and sour cream). Wash it all down with a bucket-full of margaritas and you have one fine cook-out!

All this talk about steak is making me hungry.
