    Favorite type of Steak

    What are some favorite steaks people enjoy? I mean reallllly enjoy.

    Sometimes, I could have smallest fillet migon, but if it melts in my mouth like buttter, I am satisfied. Other times, I want the biggest T bone i can get my hands on

    It's all good. But my favorite is the New York strip (in NY, ask for a "shell"), followed by the ribeye and porterhouse. Ideal accompaniments: frisée or spinach salad, roasted asparagus, and a deep complex red wine, like a good Cotes du Rhône.
    No desire, no ambition leads me.
    Maybe it's because nobody needs me.

    Got me thinking...

    What beers or wines do you enjoy with steak?

    I like a Sam Adams lager or an India Pale Ale

    As is so often the case, I agree with Fletch. I like a really good small shell steak. I like a rich tasting beer with it, but I really like a nice glass of wine, a hearty Burgundy or Merlot. With some taters and maybe haricots verte. If I can't have haricots verte, I'll settle for string beans.
    And how about some creme brulee for dessert? With a nice little cup of espresso. Aw, gee, why'd ya have to go and get me all salivated up for when I've only got frozen hamburgers in the fridge?

    I like any kind of steak as long as its red and possibly still moo-ing.

    I like my steak to have a bit of fat and a bone on it. Porterhouse does just fine; cooked dark, not burnt, on the outside and cold raw on the inside. If not a porterhouse or T-bone, a ribeye, or even a chuck will do.

    Now to drink;

    I like the bold Italian wines with most red meats, beef, venison, wild duck or goose (which I also prefer rare), so I'd go with an Amarone, Sangiovese, Barolo, or Barbaresco.

    Any of you ladies or gents ever have Steak Madagascar?

    This however, calls for a California or French- Cabernet Sauvignon.

    I used to be a medium-well sirloin gal, and then I married a Texan.

    Now the only steak for me is a medium-rare ribeye. Mmmmmmm!

    Add a loaded baked potato, sauteed mushrooms and onions, green salad with bleu cheese on the side. Perfection!

    Or as the less delicate Denis Leary said, "Send it out here, I'll cut off what I want and ride the rest home!"

    I'll have a Delmonico steak, medium, with thick-cut fries, brown sauce, and a Guinness.
