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!

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.

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.

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!!!!!
lydster26 at 1:31PM on 12/07/07
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.
StarvinMarvin at 1:32PM on 12/07/07
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!
LoCo at 1:32PM on 12/07/07

I would have to say that Peter Luger Porterhouse steaks are my favorite.
artybastard at 1:34PM on 12/07/07
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.

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).

mepolo at 2:49PM on 12/07/07
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.
