STEAK THREAD! How do you eat your steaks?!

[Sugar Land]

As long as you stay away from the salad bar it is not a bad value.

Yeah. Unfortunately, my sister has a deep and abiding love for their various sorts of giant asparagus so it's never a good value for me. It's just a good meal.

I posted earlier that I like my steak Medium rare. I also like steak sauce and Ketchup. I brush steak sauce in the topside of the meat while on the grill and put ketchup on it as I eat it. If that upsets anyone else.....so be it.

Wandering off topic, but it's amazing to me how steak places can change over time. I once loved a churrascaria in a city I frequently visited outside Texas. I went there on business probably once a year. The place was owned and staffed by South Americans, the bar was old-fashioned polished wood and brass (very homey and never crowded), and the food was great.

The last time I went there, the hostess could have been a supermodel. She was wearing a formal gown slit way too high and spoke with a Russian accent so thick I could barely understand her. The entire staff was Russian or Eastern European; some of the language coming from the kitchen was, shall we say, interesting. Traffic in the restaurant was way down but most of the customers were beefy guys with crooked noses and plenty of interesting tattoos peeking out from under their cuffs or the gold chains around their necks. They spent most of their time yakking on their cells, ignoring the too-young, too-gorgeous, and too-bored women they had brought with them for window dressing. By early evening, the bar was packed with various versions of the hostess who first greeted me and a steady stream of male traffic in and out, usually arriving alone and leaving accompanied. Despite that, the supply of truly knockout women at the bar never seemed to drop below that of a distinctly target-rich environment (though, come to think of it, I'm not sure who were the targets and who was doing the hunting.)

On top of all that, the prices had doubled but the food and service had gone to hell.

I think I learned two lessons from that experience. First, if you need it and you're in a midsized midwestern city, you grab ahold of whatever money laundering opportunities present themselves. Second, don't trust churrascarias run by Russians.

Sounds like some of the Juicy Bars in Korea.

Rare. After my steak is gone, my plate looks like a gruesome murder happened there.

Well done and ketchup is a MUST

Are you high?!?

Medium rare here

I'm only interested in tenderloin fillets. I use my own mix of spices. Steaks cut to 12 oz, grilled to medium rare over natural charcoal with a few chunks oak that's been soaked in water for the previous 24 hours.

I have not found a restaurant, no matter how fancy or expensive, that can beat the steaks I do myself at home.

I would like to be the judge of that.

When's dinner?

We'll do something once you get moved up here.

Rusty will just try to argue with the steak, I'll be there to actually eat it, and give you feedback

That's about the equivalent of arguing with a Liberal.

Texas de Brazil is an authentic Brazilian-American Churrascaria (steakhouse) that combines the cuisine of Southern Brazil with the generous spirit of Texas.

Bone-in ribeyes are generally my favorite. I like them medium rare to medium. Just had some amazing steak on Sunday. Beautiful bone in ribeyes I got at HEB for 17/pound. Would easily beat most fancy steakhouses. Perry's in the Woodlands does an amazing steak. Nick & Sams in Dallas has the beat I ever had- massive porterhouse. When I lived in Dallas, I ate at lots of great steak places. Nothing pisses me off worse than paying $50+ for an average steak.

Now if you want to cook a special occasion steak and live in The Woodlands area, check out Hubbell & Hudson The raw piece of meat will set you back more than what you will pay for a steak meal in most restaurants. They do know how to select, age, cut and sell an outstanding piece of meat. Last one I had from there was just over $45 for a 20 oz bone in ribeye, but damn it was good! (With the other add ons, drink, etc we would have saved money by eating at Flemings, Perry's, Kirbys, etc. but sometimes that is not as much fun.(plus we would have to had put on clothes))

Great tip. I've stared at those steaks at Hubble & Hudson quite a bit. I'm gonna break down tmrw or Thrs and go buy one. I'll try and update this thread. Fwiw, my last meal at Flemings was amazing in every way except for the slightly above average steak. I'm willing to give them another shot though since everything else was outstanding. Like I said above, in the Woodlands, Perry's is the place to eat. Jasper's used to be good but has been a total let down the last 3 times I've been.

One of my favorite Brazillian steak house is Estancia Churrascaria. They have great food, drinks and awesome staff.

I buy myself a prime ribeye from the meat market, and my wife a select sirloin for that very reason...

Jew Salt, freshly ground pepper, a dash of celery salt, paprika olive oil at 500 - 3 min a side at a good inch thick got a good char rare in middle.
