Steak!

**DogHair** · 12-20-2009, 06:53 PM

We had dinner tonight at Trumanto's which is a restaurant created by the famous chef Rick Trumanto. I have to say the 40 oz. ribeye for two was without a doubt the best steak I've ever eaten and I've eaten a lot of good steak. Serious melt in your mouth, walk a mile in the snow on my knees kind of flavor. I know everyone has their own favorite steak house, which may be better than this but if you're ever in this neck of the woods you need to check it out. It's not cheap but completely worth it.

A good steak is truly one of the great joys of life. My wife is a serious meatasaurus and always goes for the steak when it looks promising. The best we've ever had in a restaurant was at the Bull & Bear in the Waldorf Astoria in NYC.

40 oz.

That's beef for 10!

I do love a great steak though!

Well I like steak and I've eaten a few in the USA and always enloyed New York silverside as being perhaps the closest to the meat we buy in the UK. But you have some great steak and great steak houses.

In the UK, meat is ofcourse grass fed and tastes a little different. Air dryed Arberdeen angus, sirloin cut is something you should look out for if you like a great steak.

If you ever go to Argentina, they love their meat and serve nice juicy big steaks with good wine. Mind you in Italy a Florentine steak is very special and in Japan Kobe steak is a bit special as well.

I'm glad I'm not a vegetarian.

I limit myself to 10oz of steak. I would eat the whole thing if it was in front of me.

We have a close good friend that's a leaf eater. I just don't get it. She doesn't seem much healthier than I am and she's great but a real pain to invite to a barbecue.

I have a friend like this. I have found brushing a large portobello mushroom with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and some salt and pepper makes a nice steak substitute. About 2 minutes a side. Then I don't feel so bad eating my 20 oz ribeye in front of her!

It comes out so nicely that I have my other guests asking for the mushroom. More meat for me!

I must give you a compliment on your first name of course...

I dont go out for steak, having working in a packing house i know the grades and cuts very well so i am usally unhappy when they say that the steak is this grade and cut when it isnt, funky sauces and spices are becomming the norm. My fave cut is a porter house cooked on the rare side of mid rare.

I can't help but be partial to Peter Luger's in Williamsburg, NY, if for no other reason than because, unless I'm grilling it myself, I always prefer porterhouse to ribeye.

I'll have to check out Trumanto's if I'm ever out your way.

Enjoy!

Hreafn, what's the difference between a porter house and a t-bone? Is the porter house cut closer to the loin, and the t-bone closer to the sirloin, or they two names for the same cut?

Porterhouse=more tenderloin

I believe neither contain sirloin, rather short loin, which is a better cut. Of course, correct me if I am wrong.

**Kouros** · 12-22-2009, 08:03 PM

A porterhouse and t-bone are one and the same: a sirloin on one side of the bone, filet on the other.

I'm pretty sure that it's a strip steak (New York) on one side and a tenderloin filet on the other, but I wasn't sure of the difference between porterhouse/t-bone.

They both have a filet and a New York. The difference is where on the piece of meat the steak is cut from. A Porterhouse has a bigger filet on it.

I love it, too funny. I'm gonna start calling my sister-in-law a leaf eater. I learned a new one.
