For me, ribeye. But I won't turn down a strip. It basically comes down to what's on sale when I decide to do steak unless I'm splurging on something nice (like hitting the prime rack at the butcher). For instance, t-bones were $5.99 last night, and they really were more like porterhouses (the filet portion was ginormous).

As for filet, they are very lean and very tender, but that comes at a cost. To be that lean and tender, they get very little work, which in the end means very little flavor on its own - one of the reasons why restaurant preparations almost always pair a filet with some kind of sauce.

Agreed. Grand Street Cafe in KC makes a filet that is amazing, largely because of the sauce.

Succopoo prefers man sauce

Strip is the best steak beyond the shadow of a doubt. Filets suck. No flavor and horribly overpriced.
Go ahead and eat your cricket and I will eat my beef.
I don't believe your numbers on the water or the numbers are being misrepresented to fit an agenda. Which is the most probable answer.

Um, no.

Post a poll. Ribeye wins in a landslide.

Just because it may win a popularity contest doesn't make it better

If people are going to argue about the very best cut of steak, naming anything other than a bone-in cut like porterhouse or t-bone isn't a winner.

No matter what kind of meat you're talking about, bone-in is ALWAYS more flavorful and juicier.

This is really a silly argument.

I love strip steak, too. I just prefer ribeye. Maybe because it's more tender.

Actually, as far as beef is concerned, a nice smoked brisket kicks the shit out of a steak anyway.

I remember when they gave away a full brisket when you bought a pound of hamburger.

When the only people that will eat a particular cut of meat are the Irish, you know that piece of meat sucks.

It's an awkward layout of flesh, I'm like you, I'd like a solid 'no nonsense' cutlet. Strips are really good - just remember your basics when grilling. And resting a steak has never been more necessary while preparing the strip steak.

But that band of steak at the top of the ribeye... omnomnom.

Odds are that Saccopoo eats a shotgun shell before any of us die from red meat.

What an insufferable prick that guy is.
