Which steaks should I make this weekend? (Decisions, decisions)

[Mosca]

Remember back in January, when SRF had that half price sale?

Now that grilling season is here, I get to use the stuff in the freezer. The choices:

Black grade ribeye cap
A couple flatirons
Tri-tip
Teres Major

The ribeye cap stands out, but the weather this weekend is going to be lousy. I'd rather have that be the centerpiece of a perfect evening.

The flatirons are a perfect size, but kind of boring (as if steak could be boring!)

The tri-tip and the teres major both intrigue me, they are different from each other, and foreign to me. I had tri-tip once and it was fantastic.

I'm leaning toward the tri-tip, but, being a social person by nature, I throw my decision to the crowd!

[Troutman]

The only one on the list I have not made personally are the flatirons, I think with a good chimicurri and cooked right they could be awesome. Used to be muy popular but hey, love the tri-tips as well !!! I've got a Crowd Cow one I need to cook soon !!! I'll vote tri-tip, seems you are leaning in that direction Mosca

[CaptainMike]

Can't go wrong with a TT. Consider sous vide if that's something you do. S&P with a dusting of garlic powder is all they need, but Montreal Steak seasoning is nice too. I have a Santa Maria rub I use as well and there are several online recipes. Fair warning though, you could become addicted to tri tip!

[CaptainMike]

And don't forget the beans!

[PappyBBQ]

Love TriTip. Eat lots of that here in La-La land. I reverse sear. Low and slow to IT of 120 then over a nuclear fire to sear off. Yum.

[Steve B]

I'm going with CaptainMike on this one. Tri-Tip SV'd than seared. I've only had 1 also from SRF and it was FANTASTIC!!!!

[barelfly]

I have my Crowd Cow tri tip in the fridge thawing for this weekend. So, I’m suggesting that like others have! And, I love cooking these a Santa Maria rub over coals ( I don’t have the set up for true Santa Maria grilling). Enjoy whatever you go with!

[ComfortablyNumb]

I cooked a tri tip on Monday, so it's kismet!

[CaptainMike]

Kismet is a town in Florida, right?

[ComfortablyNumb]

CaptainMike I wouldn't know, never been to Florida albeit married for 38 years to a Florida native. I told her when we got married that I don't like heat and humidity, so don't ever expect me to go, and I never have.

[CaptainMike]

I'm sure she said "just Kissimmee and shut up"

[Mosca]

Looks like, tri tip!

[ComfortablyNumb]

Excellent. When should we bring our appetites? ;-)

[ComfortablyNumb]

Seriously (and I am rarely) have a great cook and enjoy.

[FireMan]

Does seriously mean medium rarely in your case?

[JakeT]

Tri tip all the way. Tri tip is actually really good if you smoke at 225 all the way up to 195* as well. If you wanted to try something different on it.

[CaptainMike]

Maybe not the first one.

[texastweeter]

tri tip. coat in Worcestershire sauce, then rub with Montreal steak seasoning. finish with a little chili and cumin.

[texastweeter]

CaptainMike door is open. Tequila is usually not stocked, but there is plenty of bourbon and scotch! Be sure to bring some of that crab!

[CaptainMike]

Hahaha, mountain boy here and there's only one kind of crab you can get when you live at 4,000', but I'll do what I can.

[texastweeter]

CaptainMike then you will feel right at home with a glass of bourbon, a plate of beef ribs, smoked mac and cheese, cowboy beans, potato salad, and blueberry brownies. Let me know when and that will be the menue.

[hmc]

Hard to go against a ribeye cap!

[BBQ_Steve-O]

That ribeye cap would be long gone around my place!

[lonnie mac]

Humm, I have finished all my half price load I got from SRF. Dang wish they would do that again soon! I will have to say that my new go-to steak is the Teres Major. Hand's down. I can not wait to get more! Love me some TT's but I can get them dang nice at my local HEB.

[Mr. Bones]

Given th Great Beef yer startin with, yer availabilty of cooker, an yer consumate skills...
Reckon all I can answer is "Perfect Steaks"
Best wishes, amigo, fer a better than ya best expected cook!
PLS keep us in th loop?

[Livermoron]

Save the cap. Go with the tri tip. I'm throwing 2 in the KBQ this weekend. We have a birthday party (generally turns into a potluck), and leftovers will be added to my salad for work next week...
