Let’s keep it real here and discuss the best cooking methods.

I prep it at room temperature and put a rub with herbs and olive oil.

Either on BBQ with high heat and a couple minutes each side

OR

Seared in cast iron skillet and in the oven under the broiler

Medium rare only.

I also keep it the fridge uncovered for at least a day

You take that steak seared in the skillet put some butter on it before you finish it in the broiler. Awsome

Best Ribeye I bought to take home was from Publix, the Florida guys will understand. Jewel Osco had some good cuts of meat as well. Here in vegas the go to is either Costco or Albertsons

 

[WildWilly]

Also try the Meat Cellar in Claremont. Ate their once for a later lunch and it was good. The dinner steaks looked great.

Meat Cellar for the win. when you first walk in you will have your doubts. All of which will be erased at first bite. That guy knows his shit about meat. And he also gets some cool unique meats/cuts so be adventurous. I had one of the best cuts of pork I've ever had there from some crazy south american long haired pig lol

 

[QC22]

Roscoes is down the street from me

Depending on how you define street, me too... My son and his GF are bartenders there as well. With that noted, never tried the Ribeye. Gonna do that next time I'm there.

IMHO, you don't need the broiler if you sear one side first, just a nice hot oven.

On a good steak all I do is put salt on it. Salt is liberally about 5 minutes before cooking. That promotes the maillard reaction that gives you that great crust on a steak.

Whoever said gorgonzola butter is exactly right! Maytag blue cheese works also.

With all this steak talking. Hitting up Costco and getting ribeye cap steaks and sous vide them. Had the machine for a year and never used it. So this is the day.

 

[Rondog4405]

I had a great ribeye at pinnacle peak in colton.. Cool western theme going on in there.. Supposedly haunted as well..

 

[DWC]

Roscoes is down the street from me, I always have a variety of great sandwiches. I’m going to do the steak next time, shit I never saw it on menu, but didn’t look for a steak with the great food they have

All the steak talk got me.. ended up at Roscoes last night for the Prime Rib.

Just picked up this 5 pack from Costco. The marbling is amazing on this one. You can’t beat Costco steaks.

We buy all of our meat from Costco. Bring it home, vacuum seal it and put it in the freezer.

Except for the ground beef we get from Joel.

keep an eye out when the whole bone in rib roast is sold. Always around Christmas and Mother’s Day. Can beat it. It’s a few hundy but worth it.

those look good, heading out now for some ribeye caps.

 

[Done-it-again]

About to sear these up after being in the sous vide for an hour.

 

[Richard.E]

Ribeyes from Joel’s cows were damn good!!

Finish product.

 

[Chili Palmer]

Now that Roscoe’s is in the mix we might be heading there just to see if this info is on the up and up.

 

[WildWilly]

since I like med rare on steak the sous vide didn't work for me. Just wasn't a fan of the texture and since you can achieve a med rare pretty easily with a straight sear or reverse sear in a cast iron I didn't see a need for it. But I also don't do 2"+ steaks so maybe then. But sous vide is great for most things

 

[Old Texan]

Last year I spent about $8K at Outback....no joke, no exaggeration. it's basically the closest decent restaurant to our house.

How many Bloomin' Onions you run through?

I do this. Sous Vide for 12 hours at 120, then salt and pepper and throw it on a super hot charcoal grill to crust the outside.....Literally cut it with a fork and juicy as hell. Medium rare.

The process breaks down the protein fibers of the meat and removes any hint of toughness. I do skirt steak this way, SV 12- 24 hours and folks are amazed how tender and juicy med rare fajitas can be.

Perfect every time

damn 12hrs? I had the machine for a year and first time using it, so I’m new at it and not really sure how to adjust time for the cut of meat.

will be doing double cut pork chops next. Should I brine first? Also ways do, but never sous vide them.

 

[relaxalot]

Brine pork chops... then I cook them low and slow on a smoker.. then into a black cast iron skillet very hot... yum

 

[Mike Honcho]

I am not sure if they are offering it yet however last year at Christmas time I went to Costco and scored a gift card for my parents to Flemmings and it was 50 or 75 and the face value was worth 100.00 so that could be an option if they have them out already. On a side note my grandaughters father is the manager there named James. My daughter and son in law work for Ruth Chris Pasadena.

Good Luck

Make it a road trip get away weekend. No better steaks on the planet.

Stay here, and you can check out Everything from Morro Bay to Hurst Castle.

You'll be close to Pismo too. It will be a few days he won't soon forget.

 

[HB2Havasu]

Besides my own BBQ, the best steak I have ever had was at Houston's Steakhouse in Irvine. Salt Grass in Laughlin came in at a close 2nd Place.

If your taking 4 people out for a Good Steak be prepared to pay up the butt. Good Steak is not Cheap & Cheap Steak is not Good!!!

An important consideration is your meat source. Meat from the market is not typically aged as long and a different process is used than for beef in high end restaurants.

So that is why I sous vide them longer. If your meat source is a custom butcher that allows the meat to age in a humidity controlled cooler for up to 28 days, usually dry aged in bulk quarters, the sous vide isn't needed. The long aging does the process the sous vide does.

As far as supermarket cuts, 3-4 hours is adequate with better cuts, but I like to really let the enzymes work to break down the meat proteins, especially on the skirt steaks mentioned.

If you start with a prime cut, time can/should be much less.

Keep in mind the process keeps the meat at a constant temp so it isn't going to over cook. But it can get almost too tender as the proteins break down.

I never add seasonings or marinade on long immersions as it can effect taste from the natural juices. Just like grilling and cooking, trial and error will get you where you want to be.

I’ve never been but know a few people that have and they say pretty much the same thing that it was hands down the best steak they had ever eaten

Spencer Ribeye. Used to hit it back in the Naci days. Best steak I have had at a restaurant.

Yep. That's what I was told to order as well. When they brought it to the table, I said...

No way I can finish all that!

It was gone shortly after the first bite. Absolutely amazing.

 

[Spudsbud]

Ribeyes from Joel’s cows were damn good!!

Fleming’s
Ruth Chris
Morton’s
Capitol Grill
Mastros
Bobs
Smith & Wolinskis
Harry Carry’s
Prime
Etc.

I’ve spent my adult life living on an expense account while traveling, I’ve eaten at them all (and more).

... they are all about the same.

Hard to go wrong with any of them.

But if you are ever in west TX and feel the need to eat a 72 oz steak... don’t confuse it for one from these others places !

the best steak ever I had has been “Bones” Steak house in Atlanta, bar non. Still need to make my way to Peter Lugers though.

Never heard of “Bobs” where is it located?

Bones is great in Buckhead - great story about taking a customer there once that had to see the World Series - I had to pay a valet to go buy a tv and set it up at our table on a bus tray so my customer could watch that game!


Bobs is a Morton’s type place based in TX - houston / dalllas etc - their thing is the roasted carrot covered in brown sugar. It comes with all the entree's.

 

[Chili Palmer]

We did Roscoe’s tonight - I got the ribeye, and to my surprise it was really good.
Thanks for the tip!

LMAO. We have a son that was in college at West Texas A & M, and I also went to Amarillo often on business. There is no way anyone can understand anything about The Big Texan Steak Ranch without going. I love it! But certainly not for the food...

Any of those places will hurt ($) you fast - a couple of martinis to get started - followed by the seafood tower - then an expensive steak with a la cart sides - while washing it down with a bottle of caymas / silver oak / far niente cab - wrap it up with the favorite ridiculous over sized desert of the house - then undo your belt buckle and setting in for an after dinner Loui ...

$!!!!,!!!!



They advertise that 72 oz steak 3 states away on billboards!

 

[QC22]

Despite me saying you can't know about the Big Texan without going, this video is pretty descriptive:

Basically, you pay $72 up front. 72 ounce steak, if you finish it within an hour (includes shrimp cocktail, salad, bread and baked potato) they credit your card. I've watched a few do it, and you can tell in 5 minutes that they aren't gonna finish. Oddly, their world record (can't find on site easily, but it's on all of their menus) was from a 110 lb woman who ate three of the complete dinners within the hour

You forgot the champagne after the martini, but before the red wine, during the appetizer. Otherwise, nailed it!

 

[wzuber]

Is there a Mastros near by?

newport beach...and a much nicer environment too...price will b about the same. however..if ya get there for happy hour he will likely get picked up by a cougar or other horny as fuck lady and give him a "night to remember" for a very long time..haha

Damon’s Glendale. 317 N Brand tiki tiki tiki

My wife and I have been going to Damon’s for over 30 years. Fantastic steak dinners, and great drinks too! A real Old time classic steakhouse.

What, no Shout Out's for Clearmans Northwoods Inn??

Steaks are good, and both salads and cheese breads are to die for.
