Steak Dinner- what’re you getting?

[Lovellr653]

Here’s the scenario, you and your spouse are going out to the areas premier steak house. You’ve got 300$ burning a hole in your pocket and you’ve got an appetite for steak. Based on the attached list, whats your order looking like? Assume 20$ per cocktail or glass of wine.

 

[Lovellr653]

For the record, I’m leaning towards the Tomahawk for two, hunter potato, Bourbon Manhattan, truffle steak fries and another Manhattan to forget about how much the dinner is going to cost.

Moose steak from my freezer and 300 dollars of good whiskey and beer.

Whenever my wife and I do a steakhouse we always split a porterhouse. They'll come out and carve it at the table and she gets the filet and I get the strip AND THE BONE! Martini's to start, red wine during dinner, glass of port with dessert, a nice scotch to finish it all up. You'll leave happy.

Tomahawk. Ribeye is the only worthy steak IMO

 

[thinhorn_AK]

Cowboy steak, scallops, hunter baked potato and lobster mac and cheese and my half of the 300 is about gone.

Can you post the section menu with chicken and tofu please.

 

[Broomd]

Yeah, that Tomahawk looks pretty damn tempting.
Nothing says excess like 40oz prime sliced tableside! Bon appetite!

PS...The leftovers rock too!

I’ll take the finest slab of dumpster sludge tofu please.

Not to hijack the thread, but i splurged on an aged tomahawk a few months ago. Was pretty tasty. Maple wood sear finished on cherry pellets traeger. Excellent steak. Worth treating yourself sometimes.

What’s all the rage lately with tomahawks? Is it just another cheaply disguised way to feel manly while living in suburbia? If you’re going to eat a steak with your hands just grab onto the damn thing…no need for a bone handle…or would that mess up pretty little hands?

That said I do love ribeye.

That looks amazing. Haven’t made a bad steak on my traeger yet, but I’ll have to step it up a notch to compete with that.

I’m starting to feel sorry for people who have to buy meat at the store/restaurant. If I was forced to choose the answer is always ribeye, that being said I can’t remember the last time I had beef anywhere!

 

[BRTreedogs]

I have a freezer full of elk that I estimate around 4-5k per pound. So yeah

I think the bone attached it a bit of a fad type thing. I had to try it. You are paying a lot of extra moneh for the novelty of the bone though. Was a good steak but i would just get the best ribeye cut minus the rib bone next time.

These fads seem to come in waves. The tomahawk provides a bit of wow factor some folks like for special occasions, beyond that it’s anyones guess.

That makes sense! Thanks.

Always go with the Ribeye when you have these types of selections. The exception might be a hanger steak or, occasionally, you’ll see a Conflexus muscle, but very rare.

Filet is the least interesting cut of beef on a cow. I worked in a craft butcher shop for awhile and we made this observation: bitchy women with beat-into-submission-husbands order filets. Sexy woman with men with respectable taste order ribeyes.

Bourbon neat.

I'd try the Wagyu cap steak(I'm assuming its picanha/sirloin cap?). Might as well try something different if you're eating out. Otherwise, I'd just have a nice ribeye at home.

 

[MuleyFever]

Ill have the baked potato, to go. Heck, make it the hunter.
