I love a good hanger steak. Flap steak is the most often cooked at our house

If I am cooking steak myself, it’s absolutely Tri-Tip. If I am in a restaurant, it’s absolutely NY Strip. I voted for NY Strip based on the restaurant plus other people’s places situation.

while I have not had the pleasure that theroc has, I did enjoy a meal from Dario in LA a few years ago. We were at Silvertons place Mozza Osteria. Dario is kind, warm and the real deal.
oh… it’s a porterhouse. It took 6 of us to eat it.

Love all beef.
The NY Strip offers the most consistent portion, flavor, and texture for me.
#2 is Ribeye but it has too much fat, too much work for me to cut around.
Filets are too consistent, not enough texture for me, boring.
Porterhouse used to be my favorite but is too big for me now.
picana, skirt, tri-tip are fun, but more work to cook.

Weber Kettle 22; Broil King Signet; OKJ Bronco
NY Strip -- I prefer my steak rare, and, though I enjoy Rib-eyes as well, they need a little more cooking to render that fat a bit. T-Bones/Porterhouses are also good, but given their size (width), they have to be cut a little thinner to get them to a salable size, and I prefer thicker. Tenderloin doesn't have the depth of flavor, imho. Sirloins are underrated.Last edited by Murdy; November 18, 2025, 01:08 PM.

We raise our own meat (beef, pork, chicken) so I’m limited to what I get.
The only piece of meat that I will buy at the store is Tri Tip. You know, there’s only two of them on a cow, and that’s just not enough….
