Steak Paradise: What's your "go to" steakhouse?
I'm watching Steak Paradise on the Travel Channel and it got me to thinking. Where do you go for a consistently great steak? Plus, where did you have the "best steak ever" in your culinary adventures?

For me:

Most consistently great steak = Ruth's Chris

Best "steak" ever = Prime Rib at a restaurant on the Cal/Nev border next to Lake Tahoe. The name escapes me, but it was at a casino that Sinatra frequented.

I know prime rib isn't a steak by definition, but that meal was so good it has stuck in my mind for a decade.

Yes... new ownership and it's now the Majestic Restaurant. Just about the same menu, but they now apparently serve breakfast...

It's been my favorite for a long time, even though Capital Grille is a close 2nd just in terms of the steak (the Majestic is the overall favorite for the steak + atmosphere + live music).

I grew up in KC.

And what I'm saying is - no, you really don't. You most assuredly don't if we're talking about a gas grill. There's only so much you can do with a steak. Further, if you're putting it on a gas grill, the propane puts water into the flame that will keep the steak from searing correctly. Further, very few gas grills will actually get hot enough to do the job right.

There are only so many things you can do with a steak. Anyone that does competitive barbecuing will tell you that a steak is just a steak; they won't brag about being able to cook one because there are very few tricks to it. Its almost like telling everyone how great a hot dog you can boil. My dad and his buddies can do some phenominal stuff with a brisket or a loin, but they absolutely hate cooking steaks because there's just no craft there.

Yeah, you can probably grab some Cavendar's Greek seasoning and make something on your outdoor oven that tastes as good as a steak from Lonestar. Hell, you can even get fancy and put a light coat of olive oil and some fresh garlic on it if you'd prefer. But you're not going to compete with the legitimate steakhouses. There's simply not enough 'finesse' to making a steak.

Anyone that thinks they're making 'great steaks' on their grill (especially a gas grill - again that just makes me chuckle) hasn't had enough truly phenomenal steaks in their lifetimes.

My Weber gas grill can get to about 600F. Do charcoal grills get hotter than that?

Okay...that's good enough, presuming that its an even heat. Do you have the kind with the ceramic tiles on it? Those are supposed to do a solid job of actually getting you a good heat as opposed to a bunch of hot spots.

Gas grills still suck.

Aldi's has bacon wrapped steaks for a couple dollars a piece. I put it over the bunson burner I stole in science in class.

No. There aren't any tiles in it, ceramic or otherwise. When I sear, I do it directly over a burner, so there aren't any hot spots.

Your next, and last, reason while gas grills suck is because of the water in the propane, right?

That's the frustrating thing for me. Even with quality meat, I can't get my heat high enough to get that restaurant-quality crust. I just can't compete with a professional-grade broiler that can sear at 1800 degrees.
