I can get a ribeye at Outback that's better than your $5 chuck. Again - it's all about the meat. Cooking steak is the easiest damn thing in the world to do. Oh there are some techniques to it (I like searing mine over a white-hot cast-iron skillet for maybe 10 seconds/side before putting it on the hottest fire I can build), but when it comes down to it - it's all about the quality of the meat. Chuck steak sucks. I don't care if you salt-pack it before. I don't care if you do the reverse-osmosis patdown prior to grilling it. I don't care what you marinate it in to tenderize it - it's still going to suck. Even if it's some higschool kid slapping a standard USDA Choice ribeye on the flat-iron in back, it's going to come out better than the most carefully prepared chuck steak you can come up with because the fats not there for the flavor or the whatever flavor that was there has been disguised by whatever you did to tenderize it. It's all about the meat.

Casa Seedy. I make a demi glacé + wine + mushroom steak sauce that is out this world. I make the demi glacé from scratch. It takes all day to
make, so I make enough for 4 meals about once a year. |

I'd also say "My Weber Genesis Gas Grill." I can buy a huge steak and do it myself, and it's very close in quality to what you get in a fancy restaurant for less than half the price.
If someone else is buying, I've had a great steak at Capital Grill on the Plaza, Golden Ox over their charcoal pit, Hereford House (before it got torched) in Crown Center, Savoy Grill downtown and Jess & Jim's in Martin City. Is The Majestic still open? I know it closed for awhile. |

Do yourself a favor and try J. Gilbert's at some point. Much better than Majestic, IMO. Have not been to the Golden Ox.

Two great places to buy top steaks for do it yourself in KC are McGonigal's Market in South KC and Curt's Meat Market in Western Independence. Curt's is a mile from my house. The meats are more expensive, but great for special occasions.
