I used this phrase in another thread and Chickenjuggler said: "New Thread” So here it is.

Where have you had a good steak, a better steak and the best steak?

What cut of dead cow do you like best?

How do you like your steak cooked?

What do you like on your steak?

And finally, what do you like with your steak?

LOL.

It's worth two threads.

I just noticed that and posted in your thread!

Sick minds think alike!

Best Steak- Probably Ringside

I like THe Top Sirloin cooked Medium.

If I go out and get a steak, i usually put nothing on it. Infact you should never put anything extra on a good steak. You will take away the flavor if you do. I have friends that like to make their own steaks and they put so much seasoning, and over-marinate their steaks., In my opinion its better to under marinate than over marinate.

While I can do without any spices or rubs, it's hard to pass up mushrooms. Cooked down pretty hard too. And it's not that I am a purist, but I'm not interested in paying for a marinated steak.

Good Steak: Outback (add King Crab legs) Not too bad for a chain restaurant.

Better Steak: Ruth Chris'

Best Steak: It's a toss up: St. Elmo's in Indianapolis or Morton’s. I think St. Elmo's might have a slight edge.

Favorite cut of dead cow: New York Strip.

Cooked: Medium Rare.

On My Steak: After it's cooked, Black Pepper, Garlic and a little salt. Sometimes I like bleu cheese on it.

With my steak: Fungus, Asparagus and potatoes (fixed any way)

Yep on all counts

Skybill, I have forgotten, are you local or kind of far away?

My Sister and Brother-in-law (in Sisters) just had their cows butchered last weekend, my sis and I left for the event and cried our eyes out but they had to do it to get their farm tax credit. My sister doesn't eat beef and she's not allowing my BIL to keep any for himself. Plus, he gets to go to El Gaucho and Morton's on the company dime all the time. Does anyone actually eat there who is NOT on an expense or business account? Why do guys always get to go there while we Mom's stay home and eat leftover Mac & Cheese and "scraps" (as MY mom called them)? OK, I digress. Somebody call the Whaaaambulance. "Somebody" needs to take me to Jake's/McC&S's for Sturgeon Oscar (sturgeon/crab/bernaise and asparagus) for Mother's Day/Anniversary.

Anyhoos, They're getting ready to sell the beef: grass fed/alfalfa hay fed only. No grain, no supplements, nothing extra added. Au naturel.

Jakes is my all-time favorite place. We should go there.

Without a doubt the best steak ever is at "Saylor's Old Country Kitchen".

A nice filet medium well, just a little pink inside. Bread with garlic butter, onion rings, and a loaded baker.

They don't serve it there but at home I make up a batch of Bearnaise sauce and dunk my steak in that. Heaven on Earth!

OK! Maybe we should go to Jakes when our WPE rebate checks arrive.

Or we could have our next PDX get-together there during the $1.95 happy hour(s) menu...it won't buy a steak, but we can have the best under-$2 burger in town and great cocktails.

CJ, I'm local. Vancouver.

I've traveled a lot in my job and before we moved out here, 12.5 years ago, I was in the Chicago area for 5 years and the Midwest was my territory.

Ringside has been doing steaks for decades, with both an east side and west side location. Choose the west side for the darkened decor of the 1950's. Choose the east side for a 'country-club feel.'

Ringside uses just the right amount of salt and I can't recall ever having a better steak.

Just remember, they always prepare it one notch less done than what you order. If you want medium rare, better order it medium.

I haven't tried Ruth's Chris yet, but so far, Ringside serves up Portland's best steaks.

As for the best cut, a good T-bone is hard to match.
