How do you like yours, cook yours? What cut? (this is a beef thread, no horsing around)

I'm a purist, like my ribeye from a grassfed animal, medium rare with a nice crust and slathered with butter.

Tonight I dine on sirloin however. I am open to marinade/sauce suggestions.

How do you like your steak Ccs?

Thank God it's a beef thread. On your way to Ky you should stop in Covington Ind. Place is called the Beef House. Fucking fantastic.

NY Strip here. Ideally about 1 1/2" think. Medium rare. Extremely simple on the spices....fresh ground black pepper and kosher salt. A little bit of olive oil on there to assist in the searing process. Before putting on the grill, allow the steak to come up to room temperature. As far as cooking goes - hot and fast and only flip once. After taking it off the grill, allow to rest for about 10 mins so the juices redistribute. Only use marinades for lesser cuts of meat.

We got 20 "breakfast steaks" from a vendor for $20 last year. I liked them, put them on a bun and shredded cheese :harden:

I also eat at a local place and get steak and eggs for $5.95.

Most steak is out my price range as a college student :lol:

even though I'm contemplating vegetarian, my favorite is also NY strip, medium, bordelaise sauce if available. Used to love porterhouses. Also love the bottom sirloin at Fogo de Chao, galbi and really any korean marinated short ribs.

****, it's going to be hard to go vegetarian

If I may ask, why are you going vegetarian?

I'm no steak expert, but like to grill some from time to time. I like NY strips, just on the rare side of medium. Usually just salt and pepper and a little olive oil, but recently I got this steak seasoning from Oakridge rubs called Santa Maria streak seasoning, and everyone really likes it.

Animals get killed all the time when harvesting plant products too.

I'm not considering it thinking that it will save all animals from being killed, I just feel bad these days. irrational? probably. but i'm not evangelizing about it.

sorry to derail hehateme, but he asked, I answered.

Marinade that sirloin in some red wine, olive oil, a bit of chopped garlic, and fresh ground black pepper.

And you must like gamey beef, cattle allowed to graze has that tendency as opposed to grain fed.

New York strip for me. Medium and seasoned with garlic salt and black pepper. For dipping, either some A1 or Heinz 57 steak sauce.

feel bad about animals getting killed

Buy free range or pasture raised meat. You won't feel bad knowing that the chicken lived it's life being a chicken, the cow got to be a cow. I feel bad when an animal didn't even get to do what it naturally wants to do and instead lived it's life in a factory.

Back to the OP:

Filet Migon, pasture raised. Seasoning: Fresh cracked pepper corn, sea salt granuels, garlic powder. Charcoal sear it to a medium rare. My daughter and wife love this.


Also, I tried a bison sirloin steak once. It was better than beef sirloin.

Mix equal parts salt and cornstarch. Rub it on both sidesd of your steak. Stick it in the freezer for 30 minutes. Then sear both sides on high heat. This mimics a dry age steak, crusty on the outside and moist inside.

Cooks country? I love this method.

Also, ole, i feel you. Im with bully too, i dont eat beef that isnt pasture raised, for just about every conceivable reason. Humane treatment, health, environment and flavor. Feed lot beef is just eating disease.

if u start a vegetarian thread ole, i will contribute some pretty awesome recipes. I am curious though, where do u go for the best korean in chi?

boo il galbi on bryn mawr off kimball. if you go there, you might see tom ricketts. I don't give a shit about the cubs, but my friend saw him eating there.

H mart in Niles sells the marinated short ribs but I haven't tried making them at home. The korean place on kimball north of belmont sells them too, and also kobe beef (or purported kobe beef -- it's still good).


hit me with the veggie recipes. I don't even know where to start besides boca burgers
