Controversial Debate

Welp,..medium rare here,..but it really depends on the cut and how think the meat is.

I noted a couple of guys talkin about thin cuts being for doners.  Try this for that thin cut;

Pound it as thin as possible
Put the meat in a smoker for 24 hours or so, make sure to keep the chips moist.
Remove, cut into strips about 3 inches wide
Roll the strips around a mix of bleu and monterrey jack cheese.
Roll in a good batter mix (none of this store bought garbage either)
then deep fry to taste.

Yummy

I should get some kind of saliva production award for this thread.  Reading these responses made me drool big time.  
Fire + Dead Cow = Yum

PS I gotta put a plug in for smoked brisket which is pretty much all I eat when I'm in Texas.

Ribeye. Medium rare.

Best steak I've had yet was at the Whaling Station in Monterey, Ca.

Gee, I wonder why I am craving a steak for lunch?

All steak must be eaten rare, or raw.

Get a fine cut of meat (filet is perfect for this) and shave it very thinly.  Dice some tomatoes and add minced garlic, chopped onion and a bit of thyme.  Bake some garlic bread until it is about the same texture as a crouton.  Take a crouton, add some of the thinly sliced steak (which is raw), top with the tomato-onion paste and a little mustard or horseradish sauce.  Makes a great appetizer.

When I cook a filet, there are very few, if any, seasonings on it.  Sear it over extremely high heat for no more than 60 seconds.  Have a platter heating in the oven so that it is about 400 degrees.  Pull the platter out of the oven and put about an eigth of a stick of butter on it.  Place your filet on top and serve.

For a good sirloin, season it with a nice rubbing of fresh cracked black pepper and kosher salt.  Add a bit of garlic to taste.

Another good sirloin recipe is to take some brown sugar, molasses, touch of vanilla and some of your favorite bourbon (Basil Hayden works well...or Jack Daniels).  Mix the sauce up and marinate your steak in it for at least 4 hours.  Overnight works best.  Grill that baby over an open fire (mesquite adds a very nice touch).

For a strip, get nothing less than an aged KC.  Nebraska beef is good, but KC is in a class by itself.  Like a filet, this steak can be eaten with little to no seasoning.  Maybe a red wine reduction sauce, or a touch of cracked pepper.

Sounds like we're all a bunch of predatory barbarians.  I wonder when the PC police will show up?

They are (with good cause) afraid we will eat them.

Nope. People who Eat Tasty Animals.

To think some would cook perfectly good beef in anything other than a charcoal grill is...is, heart wrenching.

Best meal for me:

KC Strip warped in Pepper bacon (thick sliced) medium rare to medium.  Unwarp crisp bacon and serve on the side with chunks of Blue cheese, eat the aforementioned with a savory bite of  meat.  Serve with a Baked potato with "the works" on it.  Drink of choice when enjoying this would be a Hales Pale Ale or a good Merlot wine.  Matter of fact, thats what we're having tonight! (Just got off the phone with the wife.  We'll have to subsitute the "KC Strip" with local beef however  )

I'm on the Atkins diet...  I'm now over-satiated and repulsed by those heavy slabs of flesh with the gobbets of yellow fat clinging to them.

Give me just a simple bowl of oatmeal with a little brown suger and I'll be groovin'

I'll have the Creutzfeldt-Jacob special with extra steroids, please.
