T-bone! Peter Luger's is my favorite place for steak. yummmm.

New York Strip, Medium. I love the filet as well, but not as much flavor as the strip.

Nothing creative here....porterhouse as well.

A ribeye steak with a huge rib bone sticking out so I feel like a real carnivore.
iracane at 12:54PM on 11/30/07
I love a good bone-in ribeye, but there isn't really a bad cut.
TheJTrain at 12:56PM on 11/30/07
Porterhouse for the win.

Ribeye!!
danie1 at 12:56PM on 11/30/07
The steaks may not be small, but I am. But I still bet I can eat a whole one in one meal. My vote is Strip because that's what I usually order. People look at you strangely if you're a girl and you order a Porterhouse, then come the questions - are you really going to eat all that? I bet you won't be able to finish that. What, you? So small and ordering such a big steak? Yeah, just shut up and gimme the meat.

New York Strip - medium rare with a nice crusty sear. Mmmmm
jcleffie at 12:59PM on 11/30/07
I like a good Porterhouse, but filet mignon is the winner, hands down. I'll still take those Porterhouses off your hands though!

Filet Mignon will always by my favorite cut of steak, But it has to be prepared right, and of course be Medium Rare!!
teeny at 1:27PM on 11/30/07
i don't have a favorite, i'm not picky when it comes to steak, i like it most any way it's served.

A Brazilian cut called Picana.
meredith at 1:27PM on 11/30/07
A big juicy ribeye, cooked no more than medium rare, with good char. I also love porterhouse but it's harder to find and more expensive. Mmmm!

Onglet/hanger for me, please. Medium rare. With a side of frites.
wendywoowho at 1:31PM on 11/30/07
I'll have to let you know after you send me those steaks.
Heh heh heh.
jpolk at 1:32PM on 11/30/07
Ribeye, served medium, yum! Porterhouse is a very close second though. If more places could cook it properly I'd probably get it more often :-)
sylphon at 1:32PM on 11/30/07
Bone in ribeye, cooked over wood
ErikaK at 1:34PM on 11/30/07
Porterhouse, it's the carnivore's equivalent to a ménage à trois.
CVilleBilly at 1:34PM on 11/30/07
Bone in Ribeye, coarse salt and pepper, seared on the hottest piece of cast iron i can get, delicious and amazing.
Of course I wouldn't complain about porterhouses or really any cut of steak ;)
Leviticus at 1:37PM on 11/30/07
FIlet or marinated flank for me.

EmmaC at 1:46PM on 11/30/07
Ribeye, with the bone so I can gnaw on it like a troglodyte. Nice and crusty on the outside, with a warm pink center, topped with some sauteed mushrooms and some good blue cheese... arghhh, my stomach is rumbling!!
Welmoed at 1:46PM on 11/30/07
I love grilled flank steak. If I can't have that, my second choice would probably be a good ol rib eye.
lakeloverhh at 1:48PM on 11/30/07

sjwoodin at 1:50PM on 11/30/07
First Porterhouse, then ny strip, then ribeye, then fillet, then the rest... medium rare of course.

New York strip, medium.
danwalk at 1:53PM on 11/30/07
If I have someone to share with porterhouse, all by myself ribeye. I love when there is slight charing on the outside and med-rare on the inside. mmmm mmmm good!
Sweetie at 1:54PM on 11/30/07
fillet, medium

I do love a fillet, but really I'm ordering a ribeye if I'm ordering a steak.
MissFive at 1:59PM on 11/30/07
T-bone has all the parts I love! A restaurant her in Portland (Toro Bravo) has a coppa steak that I am also enamored with but I'm not sure where he's exactly cutting that puppy off.

etyper333 at 2:16PM on 11/30/07
It just depends on the beef. Really good, aged, well-marbled prime? New York Strip, all the time. Questionable, or lower-grade/less marbled beef? Filet mignon. It's just more dependable.

Dry aged bone-in ribeye. Medium rare. Healthy amount of charring. Well salted. Nothing else. Bone-in is key for the most flavor

Around our house with the budget in mind we all enjoy a *gulp* round steak baked in the oven with a tin of whole tomatoes poured on top.

Without a doubt, ribeye. Medium rare. Perfect seasoned with only a little salt and pepper, but also great with a little melted butter and mushrooms. Or a red wine and shallot sauce. Mmmmm, steak...
ladyfunk25 at 3:03PM on 11/30/07
Filet mignon - medium well - but a nice marinated and grilled flank steak is great too!

Mmmm, steak! I went there for my fiftieth birthday and survived the delicious porterhouse rare. I did skip the bacon appetizer, however.
My father was worried, since none of us wanted dessert, that they wouldn't be able to sing to me. Our server was up to the challenge -- brought a bowl of whipped cream with candles in it.

It feels so....typical. But I cannot tell a lie: I adore filet.
When filet doesn't fit into my budget, I go for the lesser-known baseball steak.

Wow, those steaks look fabulous. Love sirloin medium /well on our grill, also filet (butterflied . We haven't had a porterhouse in ages, sure it would be g-r-e-a-t!

Strip Steak - best mix of flavor and tenderness

Like the other weirdo I saw above, I like flank steak. I don't know why, but it always seems to come out great when I make it.

The best steak I ever had was a flat iron.

I have to admit that I've always liked Roumanian-style strip steak -- although I am also partial to ribeye and a nce sirloin. Filet Mignon is OK, but never seems to be as flavorful (hmmm, nice beefy yummyness!)
