Best Steak I've Ever Had...

[Johnny Rockets]

Chain style steakhouse stuff will never compare to the independent steakhouses I have been to throughout the country.

As I have gotten older I find myself enjoying a smaller, filet style cut rather than a mighty porterhouse or a ginormous slab of prime rib.

My personal favorite is Chophouse downtown Chicago.

If you ever are in town, you should check it out.

Agreed...Chophouse is incredible and my favorite steak ever followed closely by the filet oscar at the Capital Grille in Charlotte.

I have been wanting to go to BLT for awhile now. Have only heard great things about it. This thread has made me hungry now.

This may sound crazy but I had an amazing steak at Longhorn a couple weeks ago. Best I've ever had in a chain restaurant.

I'm pretty anti-chain restaurant but I had the same experience at the local on here. Their ribeye is usually pretty good.

As for my best steak ever, either Angus Barn's ribeye or when I'm lucky enough to get a hold of some thick ones and cook them myself.

I love steak.

MMMM did you say steak?

Hadn't had a steak in a restaurant in a while since I discovered my butcher "Frontier meats", nothing like a fresh one...personal favorite is topped with some blue cheese..

I was kinda partial in the past to Micky and Mooches steaks, pretty good and Del Frisco is decent too

BLT has good food, but when it comes to steak - they can't compete with Aria or Black Finn.

I pan fry rib eyes which first marinate in fresh ground pepper, garlic powder and Kikoman's Teriyaki.

Amazing.

Triangle mini mart in Denver, NC has the best cuts of meat I have found. Bone in ribeye is the way to go IMO.

The Woodshed in Stanley cooks a good steak

the girl likes Aria but I've yet to go

BlackFinn? Wat?

Personally, I like to dry age my steak and cook over the hottest real lump charcoal that I can fire up.

Light olive oil, Sea Salt, and fresh ground pepper only.

Let it rest, and dig in.

Give me some Asparagus and a good Cab and I am in heaven.

There is a great place in Arlington, VA called Ray's The Steaks and they have excellent steak options and most are under $30 with several under $20.

There was another place that had great steak in DC called Medium Rare. The only choice on the menu was Steak and Fries. When you finished your steak, they bring you seconds. Only $20.

He said it was free, didn't he?
