Steak Dinner- what’re you getting?

Cowboy
Lobster mac and cheese
Truffle steak fries
Pappy 12b or 10 on rocks, I may sub in a a good Duckhorn o Canvasback Cab
Not going to lie. I had to google exactly what the Cowboy cut was. Me Like Lots!
Your menu choice would be exactly like mine except I wouldn't know which brand of Cab to order, except I like cabs occasionally.
Pappy, I know exactly what that is.

My go to at the butcher every single time is a Chuck Eye. 14 ounces of heaven. $13.99 a pound and in my opinion better than a ribeye.

Those that choose to not eat beef and rely on our vast game stores, awesome for you. Less chance my butcher is sold out on Friday afternoon.
There is a reason Lewis and Clark's favorite meal wasn't elk or deer. Actually got sick and tired of eating elk. They craved fat. I get my fat from Chuck eyes. Once a week....I am thawing venison on the counter for tonight's grub.
 
Blasphemy.
Was raised in the Midwest on corn and grain fed beef--never knew then just how bad it was; a travesty.
Finally realized how beef should taste when we moved West, now we raise grass-fed beef.
And we pre-sell every ounce we raise.

Same could be said for game. Acorn or corn-fed deer doesn't even compare to natural grass and browsed deer and elk. It's why elk is so good. They are grass eaters.
This.

That Wagyu stuff is just a mouthful of fat. Grass-fed Red or Black Angus, or Brangus is all I want

I’m pretty happy normally with a good Waygu Cowboy:

Variety is the spice of life!!! Fed prime Beef is hard to beat, and a special treat, just as a hard fought battle of a Bull or Buck.

I actually got turned on to the Duckhorn vineyards as it was a gift. All their vineyards are Offshoots of ducks names. I duck hunt
 
First, a good bourbon…. one sphere or cube of craft ice only…. if they offer it. My wife will wait on a glass of wine with the meal. Next, Cowboy cuts, medium rare/rare, for both of us. I’ll have the mushrooms d’jour with my steak and we’ll split the lobster mac & cheese (high probability of leftovers/take home of this.) I’ll ask the server for their recommendation for a Malbec. A glass each for both us with our steaks is plenty. Probably just rang up most of that $300 cash in my pocket, but the service was good so the server gets a generous tip even if I have to bust out the credit card. 2021 has been a challenging year in several ways, but we’ve been blessed too.
 
Well boys and girls,

Its steak night. I picked up a tomahawk from a local beef producer. Im pretty excited as i have had his beef before and it was excellent. My usual for big meat is a wood fire sear then pellet grill. Any other suggestions? Will try to provide meat pron once i get it out and cooked.

No wood sear. Had an emergency i had to deal with so straight onto the pellet grill. This was an exceptional steak. Cooked to an internal temp of 129f and let it rest for about 10 minutes. My wife is not a huge steak person but she was absolutely hooked too.
