I've reached a point where I purchase quality cuts of steak and have gotten my cooking technique down to a point where I rarely order steak at a restaurant unless it's an upscale restaurant that specializes in steak.
I agree, almost never order steak out, and I tend to avoid high-end steak houses. I don't want to pay top dollar for something I can do at home. If I'm spending the $$, I wan't something that takes some work--beef bourganion or osso bucco or some such thing.
This thread and a recent Mad Scientist BBQ video motivated me to go get a couple NY Strips. They are only Angus Choice, but tried to pick the ones that were not nerves, but unsure. Going to slow cook in pellet smoker then iron skillet sear. I do love the cap of the ribeye, but as others said, the eye is somewhat disappointing.
