Porterhouse or ribeye

[DG23]

Interesting topic. Personally have to go with a ribeye. While a porterhouse leaves me more stuffed, a ribeye’s flavor is just too damn good.
A well marinated skirt steak is up on the list for me too. There’s a Cuban restaurant out in the city that made a skirt steak i’d die for. Can’t wait to drop by once indoor dining is back.

How do you guys order your steak?

I was at a steakhouse once and talking to a chef, who very thoroughly explained all the different cuts of meat and the differences between each. Then...at the end...he goes "If you order any of these done more than medium rare, you can forget about everything I just said". Apparently, once you go past medium rare, the protein in the meat degrades to the point where different cuts start tasting the same. I mean....if you order a steak well done, can you really tell the difference between sirloin and ribeye? There might be some difference but they get pretty close. Meanwhile, I can tell the difference between a medium rare sirloin and ribeye very easily.

(I previously posted this on July 20th ...)

" ... there are only three ways that steak can be prepared: Rare, Medium Rare, and Burnt (which is everything else). There is a restaurant in the Phoenix, AZ area that, if you order your steak well done, they actually bring you a boot on a plate! "

Bone in, Medium Rare. Boneless, Rare. You can always send it back for some more time on the grill if too rare, but you can’t uncook it.

Light a standard wooden kitchen match. Hold the steak over the match. When the match burns out, turn the steak over and repeat the process.

When the second match burns out, the steak is ready !!!

(If the steak is more than 2" thick, use two matches per side)

Recently had a dinner with a friend and he ordered it rare. I was like....I can't do rare, it's too raw....and he says if you order it rare at a regular restaurant it will come out medium rare. Only at a high end steakhouse will rare truly be rare. We were at a Portuguese restaurant. His rare came out medium rare and my medium rare was medium lol.
