I read the "marinade and rub your meat" thread and thought "Hey, I think I will try something interesting for dinner"... This could be a dinner pic tonite, but, I need suggestion of which cut to get and which marinade (basically, umm, instructions).
Normally I get like a sirloin steak throw some Worcestershire on it and sit on charcoal grill.. Thinking of something better for a steak. Other than the basics (chunk of meat that was cheap and heat it up), I don't dabble in "fine cuisine" Hopefully this will get me as much info as the "Chili: Beans or not" threads. |

I like a New York strip but rib eyes are pretty good too. If you want to impress, do a nice thick porterhouse, though that will set you back some coin. But for tonite get a New York strip about an inch and a half to two inches thick, throw on some rub, and grill it to your taste.

Ok, for ribeye or new york strip: Favorite marinade ingredients/instructions?
See, I gotta prove I know what a kitchen is to MarianLibrarian and at this point I can't. |
|
Porterhouse is by far my favorite cut. Charcoal cooked seasoned with salt and pepper only.
Good steaks have thier own flavor. HS1 |
|
You can't beat a good Ribeye. The marbling of that particular cut is what gives it the full flavor.
|
|
Ribeye.
Has anyone else here ever ate beef heart or tongue ? They're actually pretty tasty if prepared right. |
|
|
Cope tells it true! I use HotShot in place of plain black pepper (unless I'm grinding fresh) on just about everything!
|
|
Let's not go there, mmmmkay Brassy? Also, what's with the beef choices? You run out of deer and antelope? No buffalo? |
|
|
Ribeye and Strip steak are really good, but I have always been partial to skirt steak and flank. Meejum to meejum-rare :)
|
|
You guys suck...
I just got back from having a molar removed because it was cracked. I'm going to be eating jello and pudding for a couple of days. If I could have a steak, my choice would be a nice Filet or a Ribeye. |
|
|
Steak??? You mean.........like from a cow?
I haven't had a beefsteak in over a year. I still have around 40 pounds of elk and mule deer in the freezer. For steak on a budget, go hunting. It is the most natural meat out there. Guaranteed to not have any chemicals in it (except for maybe about 180 grains of lead--but it usually goes right on through!) |
|
Ribeye....nothing like a thick slice of the prime rib grilled to your liking.
PS: That Black/Red pepper blend looks AWESOME!! |
|
Well, no tag / season yet, all the venison is gettin to year old, thought I would try something completely different! I think if Helldog approves Cope's selection and method I will go with that (perforate, add butter, salt, and HotShot)... Still open for more ideas tho! |
|
|
I second the Filet, even though I hardly ever have it. Just too expensive. Of the other choices I like a good strip steak. |
|
|
so I managed to mis-spell a French word...hey it is the end of the day and I am tired..cut me some slack |

Filet and Ribeye, and as for marinades, salt and pepper! Good meat doesn't need flavor enhancers/tenderizers!
|
|
I've cooked over 700 pounds of tri-tip over the last two years for my command using Santa-Maria style spices. You might as well dip the stuff in crack cocaine that stuff is so addictive. You can buy the spice from Suzzi-Que over the Internet and just follow their instructions - the hickory wood is a nice touch. |

Porterhouse. Touch of steak seasoning.
Grill over charcoal with mesquite smoke. Rare. NO steak sauce. Yeah, I'd like to have a properly aged steak and NOT have to use seasoning, but those are hard to find. And I've discovered that if you walk into a butcher shop these days they get pissy with you if you ony want 1 or 2 steaks and don't buy a whole side of beef. |
|
That’s a no brainer Filet minion is the best. Most people won’t call it the best because it’s expensive and small. It’s the whole bigger is better thing, which is not true. |
|
No, not really. It's a great cut (the most tender)--but it's lacking in flavor. This is the biggest reason it's not getting the popular vote (not the price or size). The tenderloin is a VERY lean cut of meat; since fat yields flavor, your highly marbled cuts (like ribeyes) are often chosen over the filet. This why it's not uncommon to see a filet served with a bearnaise sauce. |
|

I agree filet mignon is fantastic, but not enough fat.
A good prime rib or ribeye is better tasting to me. What some are calling a Porterhouse, is that the same as a T-Bone? I know a T-Bone is filet on one side and New York on the other. Pretty damn good steak. |
|
Yep, I agree, it real tender, but not much flavor because there is not enough fat in it. That is why when you go to some resturants they wrap a piece of bacon around it to give it some fat. The fat is what give is the flavor. For me I personally like the sirloin, the best balance between cost, flavor, and fat. |

Porterhouse/T-bone is the best only cause you get 2 top cuts in one.
Ribeyes are awesome. Honestly, I don't care which one of these good cuts it is, just as long as it's on sale for $5/Lb. at Safeway cause I eat these cuts all the time. BTW, don't go poking holes in these cuts like someone mentioned. |
|
A porter house is basically a t-bone, it's just that it's cut higher up on the carcas (if that makes sense) where the New York & filet are larger--and of course it's usually cut thicker too. |
|
|
That's implying it is not as great a cut as it really it. There is no better cut of steak, IMO. A nice marbled Porterhouse over a mesquite flame, served with tortillas and a side of beer. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM |

+1 for Sirloion. To me, its the most flavorful of the cuts. The consistancy is also appealing to me.
Yup, Sirloin is where its at. |
|
|
The butcher told me the difference between T-Bone and Porterhouse is they are the same except the Porter has a bigger filet portion |
|
|
Ok, stab the hell out of it and season if it is ribeye Salt and pepper if it is Porterhouse/T-Bone? Since the votes for those two are about the same, I am off to get probably the ribeye and stuff. |
