Default Best Steak You Ever Had?

Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Washington, D.C. I had the filet, medium rare. It came out sizzling with a dab of butter on top. The thing was so tender you could cut it with your fork. Had it with some potatoes au gratin and asparagus. I can't wait for Ruth's Chris to come to Salt Lake...

My favorite steak joint resides at the mouth of the Ogden Canyon.....

Timbermine.

Great, great, tenderloin.....

I've eaten steak all over the country and still can't find a steak better than the one I eat monthly at the Timbermine....

The Picanha (top sirloin) served at the Brazilian restaurant found in Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, and Sao Paulo Brazil. It is called Fogo De Chao and it blows any brazilian BBQ any of you have ever had out of the water.

Be prepared though for th $40 a person charge if you go.


Oh...and best steak in the USA....has to go to a place in Chicago called the Chicago Chop House. Freakin' amazing. I had the New York Strip.

I've eaten at a couple of Ruth's Chris restaurants, and while it is pretty good, I've never been amazed at their steaks. They are definitely good....just not amazing.

The best steak I've ever had was at the Great Argentinian Steak house in Cancun. That was an awesome steak!

Fus....this Timbermine place you mention sounds tempting...

I'll second that with one exception... No restaurant steak has ever come close to good beef on my own grill.

Okay....guess I should have mentioned that. The BEST steaks I've ever had is when I go to the butcher and have him specially cut me a steak and then cook it myself.

The filet at Ruth's Chris in Vegas was very good.

But my favorite steak eating experience ever actually came at a hole in the wall bar in Wellington Utah called the Cowboy Kitchen.

Aside from that, I actually also really enjoy Ruby River steaks and the Porterhouse at Outback.

This is what I mean about Ruth's Chris. The steaks are better than what you get at Outback certainly, but not by a ton.

Mine was a steak that I got for buying tires at Les Schwab. I cooked it on my own grill and it was pure heaven.

Agreed. There is a butcher shop called Bisher's in northern San Diego (in Poway) whose cuts, when grilled correctly at home, are an orgasm in my mouth.
