Got lucky. Colleague at school had a friend who lived in anchorage at Christmas.  Steaks were on sale at Fred meyer(think Kroger’s).  One item on sale was beef tenderloin, The whole thing, for $10.99 per pound.  Choice.  Bought it, sight unseen.  I had always wanted to butcher one of those.  Watched YouTube, pretty easy, took me about 20 minutes to butcher.  It was a little over 7 pounds total.  After butchering, I got 8 beautiful filet mignons, wrapped them in bacon, toothpick.  They were so tasty, I will never buy precut filet mignons again. Weighed between 6 and 9 ounces.  On the flip side, because tenderloin is lean, the remainder that I ground up was just average.  I think next time I will throw some fat in there. I still prefer ny strip or ribeye, but if I’m eating filet, I want to cut it.

I will say that I grew up watching my mom open the butcher paper, put salt and pepper on a sirloin, and eat it right there with a fork and knife still cold from the fridge. so your ratings chart is more or less correct.

I’m a huge fan of the grass fed steaks from HEB. Bought a couple NY strips tonight and roasted some baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic, and parsley. No greens on my plate because I felt like being a caveman.

The rivets on the plate really tie the meal together.

Nice work, but you're no caveman if either one of my nemesis, sous vide or reverse searing were involved! What seasoning did you use?

those taters are good, perfect for roasting with rosemary/sage, salt, pepper, and oil.

I used Montreal steak seasoning, although honestly it would’ve been great with just S&P as well. I actually just cooked this on my Kamado grill. I was pleased with the result.

S&P, garlic, parsley, and oil on these. Didn’t think about Rosemary but I’ll have to try that out sometime too.

None of that.  You know you want steak for dinner.  Move that shit from the freezer to the fridge while you're making morning coffee.

Or, if you’re like me and never think that far in advance, move from freezer to counter by around 3:00-4:00 PM.  Will easily be thawed in time for dinner at a reasonable hour.

In honor of the Masters opening round. 2 lb bone in ribeye over pimento cheese mashed potatoes

There's no way that's edible bone marrow, right?  Right?

You should lie and say it was, just to solidify yourself as the king of steaks.  Whole other level shit.

Either way, looks great...as per ushe

served in what appears to be a salad bowl.

that's how you do it. Do you just scoop the potatoes out of the bowl with the steak and then eat the steak with your hands? because you should

First you ruin the Urban Meyer thread, now you try to ruin this steak one.  I mean...valid points on both.  But still...

My 1st post in this group. I hope y'all approve. It was the best I've done. Bachelor weekend with my son and I as mom and 2 others are away at a Vball tourney and older son had HS baseball game. Please excuse how my 15 yr old still cuts a steak up before he eats it. 2 Delmonicos I bought. Brought to room temp for 4 hours. Seared both sides on cast iron for 2 mins each. Threw chunk of butter on each then in oven until 136 internal. Still a McCormicks fan so that's the seasoning. Top 2 steaks I've ever made. Delmonico is still I think the best steak.

Oh and I think this will piss y'all off with a $20 steak but after seasoning I take a meat mallet and lightly pound the seasoning into the meat. I also dry off both sides of the steak with a paper towel before I drop on high heat skillet.

Figured out a small tree in the backyard died from the winter bullshit so I cut that down and figured that warranted a nice steak dinner. Got a 27 day aged ribeye from central market, broiled some shishito peppers, made up a few wedge salads and a couple baked taters. Was good.

Damn near perfect. Points deducted for the red onions on the wedge salad.

Picked up some great, thick, rib steaks. It’s finally nice enough here to grill, so I heated up the Weber right after work. I love the flavor of the open grill, but also want to control flare ups, so I took the cast iron out to the balcony.

Getting the sear and open grill flavor first.

Butter, garlic, rosemary to the pan and continuing to get that perfect sear.

Finish with compound garlic chive butter? Of course!

Yes, this is the way....

People are funny. The other day, my wife was out of town and I had my three kids. One of the other parents at my son's soccer game came up to me and said "my wife is concerned about you guys this weekend. She wants to know if she can have dinner delivered tonight." 

I was like "motherfucker, tonight I am going to grill prime ribeyes to the rare side of medium rare while I drink Stoli out of the freezer. Then I'm going to let them rest slathered in sage garlic butter while I finish the red wine mushrooms, twice-baked potatoes, and roasted brussels sprouts with bacon. Then after dinner we are all going to eat ice cream on the couch while we watch King Kong and Godzilla smash everything in surround sound. Then I am putting the kids to bed and sitting on my patio under my hanging lights while I drink bourbon and smoke a cigar. Today is the best day of my entire life and nothing else is even close. The offer of a casserole is politely declined. But I hope you guys have a nice evening tonight." Then I sent him pictures of resting steaks, drinks, etc. all night long.

The crust was great, but center was a hair too overdone for my liking. So all I will share is a cool process photo. First time using avacado oilf67cfad1ef848007652127c5c515d368.jpg
