Ribeye, slightly charred on the edges, but as close to still mooing as is legal.

Strip. Ribeye's good, too. Rare, medium-rare if you look away too long. Any more than that, and the cats can have it.

Porterhouse. And I am mostly commenting this time to confirm my theory that I never win anything.

Colorado Jim at 12:34PM on 12/14/07
Oh, I love them all, but not much beats a bacon-wrapped filet. Although we typically eat porterhouse at home. Easier to get it done perfectly that way.
