What's your favourite cut of steak?

[merciasounds]

Hubby and I love a rib-eye, well hung, with a good marbling of fat to keep the meat juicy and moist whilst on the BBQ or grill. Served with some fried onions and thick cut chips, and a lovely fresh garden salad - what could be nicer?!! Got a lovely bottle of English sparkling rose to wash it down, and some beautiful just picked fresh English strawberries, with oe homemade clotted cream Ice cream to follow.

Fillet. [I have expensive tastes] And it must be cooked medium rare.

Agree with you, Clanad, a NY Strip is excellent, especially as Karen likes them, well hung.

However, I will have one gripe with the US and is that restaurants can not cook a really good extra rare steak. It's a case of "slap it the cow on its rear, wipe its asse, carve a chunk off - slap it on the hottest barbie or grill, two mins one side, then the other and straight on the plate."

Now Belgium/France, lovingly on to a wood fire with medium heat, four mins a side - and the crucial bit, let it rest in a warm place for ten mins and you have ultra rare meat but the centre is warm, unlike the cold strip you get in so many restaurants.

Having said that, I have eaten some pretty good rare steaks in US folk's houses when it has been bbq-ed.....

And well done meat is yeeuuuk

Ah but JJ I wouldn't taste it rare as I wouldn't eat it :)

I got a couple of excellent sirloin steaks in Lidl last week. Tender and tasty.

Medium rare sirloin or ribeye, with steak diane sauce and square cut chips with asparagus. I could just eat that now.
