melt-in-your-mouth porterhouse

Porterhouse as well.

NY Strip. Just charred on the outside...nice and red on the inside...

Porterhouse

Also NY Strip.

I'm partial to flank (does that count?!) - I grew up eating braciole and it's such a comfort food for me. But, if you twist my arm, I've got to have a grilled (but rare) filet, crusted with black pepper and course salt. Yummy!

I may offend some people with this but I've gotta say a ribeye.

porterhouse. rare.

Flank steak! There is so much flexibility, and with the right marinade, grilled....mmm.

NY strip - best flavor

This week I love porterhouse...but it changes all of the time.

Porterhouse for me.Still mooing with bleu

porterhouse

I Love a Filet (to the tune of "I Love a Parade")

Ribeye is the juiciest and tastiest cut.

bone-in-rib-eye

châteaubriand!!!

NY Strip -- seasoned with salt and pepper, grilled to medium rare, sliced, drizzled with great olive oil and topped with a few shavings of parmesan reg. Serve with arugula dressed with a little lemon and you've got heaven on a plate.

NY strip salt pepper and rare

I like Ribeye too!

Bone-in Strip

Bone-in ribeye

Ribeye......very rare!

Porterhouse!

Filet. Also skirt steak, but only if I'm making fajitas.

Ribeye for this guy

Porterhouse.

Gotta be porterhouse!

NY Strip...used to be ribeye bone in.

Ribeye no question

A well-marbeled rib-eye.

Rib eye is awesome.

Boeuf en Croute - as made by my mother with best aged fillet in a pastry case with a mushroom and red wine sauce - yum!

Garlic-lime-dijon marinated skirt steaks on the grill.

Skirt Steak is my very favorite steak, when prepared correctly. Followed by rib eye, porterhouse. Weird, huh?

New York Strip, Followed by Sirloin.

really, I like all of the above.

porterhouse or how (& where) i came to love it--bistecca alla fiorentina

Porterhouse, all the way.

Rib-eye, please...

Bone-in ribeye, no doubt.

/although I make a mean arrachera with flank or skirt steak

28 day dry aged porterhouse. medium rare

Is there an echo in here?
Ribeye

Love the porterhouse... what a tasty hunk of meat!

I've always been partial to the disciplined marbling of a good ribeye, though I'm trying to branch out to other more subtly delicious cuts. Still haven't had real Kobe beef.

flank steak...the way my mom makes it.

Ribeye for sure!

rib eye, no excuses

porterhouse -- best of both worlds!

Dominic
the zen kitchen

Ribeye, grilled to a medium rare is incredible. I'd go with a nice martini to start out with. :-)

Filet mignon.

Ribeye, bone-in.

only ribeye will do. mmm...mmm...mmm.

i don't care as long as it's bloody

bone-in filet. Yum!

new york strip, medium rare.

Filet w/ lots of bacon.. omg.. yum


Im bloggin ya :)
http://contestaddict.blogspot.com

A bone in ribeye medium rare is my preference but I imagine I could accept a couple of aged porterhouse steaks from this esteemed steakhouse. Come on! Pappa needs a new pair of shoes!

porterhouse!

Rib-eye, please

NY Strip, after that sirloin. Medium topped with a medallion of blue cheese butter.

Ribeye indeed.

Onglet/hanger, please. Medium rare, and with a side of pommes frites.

New york strip - Dry aged. If it isn't dry aged then it's the Rib-eye bar none!

One more for the Ribeye!

filet mignon, but I have a wandering eye

bone-in ribeye

Chosen at random, please choose me a randon hanger steak w/ Chimichurri butter and frites. A purely random choice.

I love how buttery soft a good filet mignon is, but I know that puts me out of favor with the serious steak lovers.

Filet Mignon!!!!!

Hanger for 'let's have a steak tonight'. Porterhouse if you live within two hours travel time of one of the Luger establishments. If you're not that lucky, the most ethereal of all are the perfectly aged and cooked strips. I can still remember the top 5 of all time.

Filet mignon -- it's a texture thing, and it's running neck-in-neck with more flavorful NY and flank. But in reality, if it's dry-aged and prime, and properly prepared for the cut, I won't be too fussy about which one I get!

porterhouse

I would have to say that Peter Luger Porterhouse steaks are my favorite.

dry aged prime ribeye is the best I've ever had, so far, although a nicely trimmed piece of tenderloin (with a little truffle butter) is also just as amazingly awesome. I am dieing to try porterhouse, which from what I've heard is the holy grail of steak.

Sirloin - ha!

Bone in ribeye, seared in cast iron, with some salt, pepper and butter.

Ribeye for me

cowboy cut........becasuse i'm a cowboy fan !!!!

Rib. Eye. No question

One more for the Ribeye!

my favorite cut is... in half, and in half again, and again, and so forth and so on, until it's bite-sized

i'm a fillet guy.

I love porterhouse-medium rare

porterhouse

Porterhouse!

stripporterhouseribeyeskirthangerfiletmignon

Mmmmm...strip steak

Hanger with chimichurri

Porterhouse - blood red at the center with a nice char. Interesting bit of Peter Luger trivia: It is a little-known fact that all waiters at Luger's are required to wear special underwear constructed entirely of dry-aged raw meat and lined with chilled iceberg lettuce (those servers who have the most seniority are allowed to coat this lettuce interior with a thick layer of blue cheese dressing).

Fillet Mignon

t-bone...bloody

definitely bone-in rib eye

a rare porterhouse with tons of peter luger sauce, delish.

Strip steak, medium rare, preferably with a great brandy-flavored Diane sauce.

Porterhouse, rare

my favorite is ribeye!

I still love me some filet, or New York.

Been buying a lot of Flatiron steaks lately (AKA top blade steak). Cheap, versatile, tasty! Can be used almost anywhere you would use a skirt or flank steak.

Ribeye for me

Filet Mignon, of course.

striiiiiiiiiip

Porterhouse, most definitely.

Ribeye, definitely.

Rib eye or a sirloin strip steak- extra rare!

filet mignon so far, but I'm willing to be persuaded.

We tend to eat strip steak at our house. Can't say if I have ever tried Porterhouse.

Porterhouse.

filet with sw.potato coating

rib eye or fillet mignon

I usually opt for the strip.

All of them...but if I had to pick one, it would be porterhouse.

Was a flatiron for a long time, recently started buying thick short ribs, trimming the connective tissue off the outside and from between the bone and the meat, then cooking it medium rare like a steak. Not tough at all, and fattier and more beefy than any bland cut from the shell or tenderloin.

Filet Mignon

Peter Luger converted me to the Church of Porterhouse.

sirloin for me!

filet mignon

bavette....the tastiest!

I like the strip best, but I'll have any cut of good quality. Hanger's a recent favorite.

I love ribeye, Hubby is partial to a t-bone.

Porterhouse.

Filet but my husband prefers a bone-in ribeye.

New York Strip, big and rare.

NY strip for me

ribeye, medium-rare...mmm

mmmmmmporterhouse - preferably with butter and salt and pepper on top and a side of peppercorn sauce. medium rare please!

I miss the Roumanian strip steaks that I'd get in NYC -- but enjoy a nice sirloin or porterhouse.

Porterhouse edges out ribeye!

Porterhouse and NY Strip

Porterhouse!

filet mignon

Porterhouse and ribeye

Mm. Filet Mignon. So tender.

N.Y. Strip is fav if I'm eating out.
If I'm at home and the dog is watching, then bone-in ribeye so she can have the bone after.

NY strip medium rare!

I made some Beef Stroganoff last evening using a flatiron steak, one cut I had never tried. It was delicious! It's my new favorite!

Medium-rare ribeye.

prime rib all the way baby

NY Strip, with the bone-in Ribeye a close second!

although i do enjoy a good ribeye... porterhouse is probably my favorite

Porterhouse - it's 2 steaks in 1, can't beat that

porterhouse!

I'm going to go with a peter luger porterhouse.

Porterhouse. King of steaks

Sirloin! Oh please let me win one! I love a good juicy steak.

NY Strip or Hanger

Flank steak - tastes like meat!

Porterhouse!

Porterhouse if I'm sharing - w/ creamed spinach. Hanger if solo, w/ fries!

Ribeye it is!

The porterhouse of course...God bless Peter Luger!

Definitely the rib-eye. The perfect marbling and rich flavor wins every time.

a big, thick ole T-bone, truly rare, with a salt & pepper crust

porterhouse

Hi, My name is Ellen and I like a good juicy Roast Of Beef! Especially with some garlic mashed potatoes.

Hangar steaks! Preferably from Golden Gate Meats in SF. They're fantastic!

Porterhouse

Ribeye in steak form or in prime rib form.

ribeye, medium rare

The rib eye is the best cut on the cow, but since that is not what Peter Luger is known for I would happily take a nice porter house.

Hanger steak, then skirt, then ribeye.

porterhouse - seared well, but red inside with herb butter on top.

ribeye... preferably broiled and always medium rare

Filet or NY Strip.

Hi, The men in home would say "Porterhouse!" Cindi
jchoppes[at]hotmail[dot]com

I love hanger and skirt steaks - especially since I am pregnant and must eat my steaks well done. These have enough fat not to get dry when cooked so long.

Medium rare Porterhoue

NY strip, but I'm starting to have fun exploring skirt steak.

flank, please

There's a small piece on a T-bone, which,if you look at it with the cross bar of the T at the top and the longer arm facing left, is to the right of the center bone just below the crossbone. I don't know if it has a name, but it rocks.

Portly Porterhouse

The one someone has paid for :-)

garlic rib steaks---barbequed!

flank steak--just the right amount of chew!

ribeye - rare!

Black and blue porterhouse!

filet - rare.

Look. I don't care what kind it is. Just put my steak down and back away.

porterhouse medium rare florentine

Porterhouse. Man, I never get to eat steak. It would be nice to win this one, seeing as how the 8th is my birthday, I have a final exam that day, and I'm sick... nothng like a steak to cheer you up!

big, fat-ass porterhouse, or a t-bone with a tiny morsel of bone marrow. RARE!!!!! steak steak steak

Porterhouse. It ought to squeal when you stick a fork in it. (AKA rare)

filet, if I can afford it - siroin for the other, more frequent, poorer times

Porterhouse today.

Bone in Ribeye.

I love the filet portion of the porterhouse :)

i really enjoy a grilled thick aged ribeye with sprouts, spatzle and a demi prot glace

Let's randomly say my favorite cut of steak ,since this is a randomly picked giveaway, would be a Peter Luger prime, dry-aged porterhouse with Mr. Luger's steak sauce and chocolate coins. OU812.... great!!!

Dry Aged New York Strip = slice o heaven :)

Perfect Porterhouse

Ribeye, first and always.

Bone-in NY strip

Porterhouse definitely. The first real steak I ever had was a Luger's Porterhouse. That said, I've had some great Ribeyes as well. . .

Ribeye-grilled on an outdoor grill

I'll go with Porterhouse.

a nice THICK Filet mignon.... grilled to medium rare and served with parsley/garlic butter.

Hanger steak home; rib-eye out

Ribeye is still my favorite! It reminds me of the rare & exotic visits to Pondegrossa, Shizzler and the like when I was a kid on vacation with my parents.

Filet, it's the first cut of meat that I actually enjoyed.

Bone In Ribeye. It is the tastiest to me.

NY Strip...Rare side of Med-Rare.

Fillet mignon.

I just feel ribeye is the best flavor for the dollar all around--although it's hard for me to pass up a good delmonico/n.y. strip

Porterhouse
