tjv,
I love grilled beef, so my favorite steak is the one I happen to be eating at the moment. [p]That said, I almost always go for the strip steak, but the rib-eye is very close.
-
tjv,[p]For now, tri-tip cut into steaks about three fingers wide are high on the list for flavor and value. I'm still doing the hot tub thing on them too.[p]~thirdeye~[p]PS nice job on that basket, that was a lot of rolling. Was it all 1/4" and what was the spacing between the rings?

tjv,
tenderloin is tender, but doesn't have much fat, and so doesn't have much flavor.[p]rib-eyes have a lot of flavor, and are pretty tender when done correctly. lotta fat, lotta flavor.[p]strips are a a nice average of the two, to be overly general. if i am buying a choice steak, raw and unaged, it's usually a strip. for me, a choice rib-eye can be too wet with fat, and can fall apart.[p]if i am buying dry-aged, it's almost ALWAYS a rib eye. the fat has dried out and condensed so that it remains firm (but tender) and doesn't flop apart. i also think it gains most from aging.[p]porterhouse and t-bones are great for show, but i'd rather cook the strip and/or tenderloin by itself. [p]

I like a grilled Tri-Tip cooked to medium rare. I season with DP's Raising the Steaks rub. Good luck, Tom
-
I have got to agree, ribeyes have become my favorite. But when in the area. I have to get a filet from McGonigles.
I usually wrap in proscuitto.

tjv,
ribeyse, strips steaks, skirt steaks, flank, tenerlion is last.
-
tjv,
Yeah...tenderloins for tenderness and always with a sauce (Bearnaise is my favorite) and rib eyes for flavor with nothing but some fresh ground salt and pepper.

mad max beyond eggdome,
What is Hanger steak? this looks like skirt steak.
-
tjv,[p]I thinnn, (as Ricky Riccardo used to say)... I'm with you.[p]Ribeyes first...[p][p]Strips second, (but only if they're good ones)[p][p]But...
Max has got me hooked on Hanger Steaks...so they are, (on any given Sunday)...a possible winner!![p]
I spent most of my money on good bourbon, and bad women...the rest, I just wasted!! -

HungryMan,
different 'muscle' .. .hanger steak is the muscle that connects the diaphram to the rib cage. .. texture is a little softer than skirt or flank steak, though you still have cut across the grain for the most tender slice possible. ..its got a wonderful 'beefy' flavor .. also called a 'butcher' steak, cause the butcher's used to keep them for themselves cause they knew how good it was. ..very popular in french bistros where its called an "onglet" steak ...likes marinade and a fast hot sear. . ..

tjv,
Ribeyes! -RP

tjv,[p]The last one I cooked is always my favorite. I like ribeyes, strips and sirloins, pretty much in that order. Actually anything that's not too tough is fine with me.

mad max beyond eggdome,[p]Next time we're together (perhaps Waldorf???) I need you to give me a lesson in slicing these things. I always seem to screw it up. I know you told me something about separating one muscle from the other but somewhere in the process it always goes awry for me.[p]Love meat, but never claimed to be a butcher,[p]TRex
-
tjv,[p]I love a good fillet for the tenderness, but I bring my own flavor to the party. I'll marinade them overnight in this stuff:[p]2 cups cider vinegar
1/2 cup good cab. s.
1/2 cup grocery store grade balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup EVOO
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp black pepper corns
2 cloves garlic[p]Whir it all up in a blender and soak the fillets for at least 4 hours. Overnight is best. Grill 'em TRex or regular to your desired doneness. Mighty tasty![p]For a steak that stands on its own merit, I'll choose a NY strip. I massage them with EVOO and grind on a little salt and pepper. Off to the TRex machine they go. They really don't need any special treatment or flavoring. y the way, though it has a little firmer bite, a good sirloin can stand on its own flavorwise, too.
-
TRex,
if you're coming to waldorf pal, i'll make sure to have plenty of hangers to practice on. . .and actually, i've been thinking i'm gonna keep it simple this year and i'm planning on bringing half a dozen of them, doing up with different seasonings/marinades. . .you and me, we'll have a little 'slicing session'
-
BBQBluesStringer,[p]Got vinegar on the brain today. That should be 2 cups cider, not cider vinegar.
-
mad max beyond eggdome,[p] I'll have the Tri-Tip [p]
-
TRex,[p]That pic always gets me!!![p]Thanks.......[p]Evans
I spent most of my money on good bourbon, and bad women...the rest, I just wasted!! -
Celtic Wolf,
thats why they invented cows with so many different parts :-)[p]everyone gets to pick their favorite parts
-
mad max beyond eggdome,[p] If I win the lottery between now and then I'll bring my favorite parts... Till then ya'll need to settle for Tri-Tip..[p]
-
tjv,
Dry aged ribeys!
-
mad max beyond eggdome,[p]Awesome. I'm looking forward to it (and crossing my fingers that I'll be able to make Waldorf).[p]Jason
-
Chubby,[p]Me too. I get sorta choked up, actually - reminds me of the good ole days when I was buying prime strips and ribeyes at HEB for $9.99 a pound. Alas . . . [p]TRex
-
mad max beyond eggdome,
Thanks for the answer. I will probably have to go to a butcher. I never have seen one at publix or anywhere around
tampa.
-
Chubby,[p]Ah, how I do miss the prime beef at HEB. I can go to Whole Foods here but $$$$![p]Time to buy a scratch-off,[p]TRex
