I like filet mignon. Yeah, yeah, its supposed to be not as good as other cuts, but taking a bite of melt-in-your-mouth rare filet is like taking a bite of heaven. Especially when paired with some sort of bleu cheese. Yum.

For grilling, nothing beats Porterhouse. You get the best of both worlds, a bit of the Filet and a bit of Sirlion. That said, Seven Bone Chuck Steak is absolutely delicious as well and when I'm in the mood for something a little more rustic, a well-marinated flank steak is terrific. Rib eyes are nice but too much work, although perfect as a roast. Finally, I don't know what they are called but BJs sells a cut of meat that looks like it's a bit of the flank but it is super tender and grills up beautifully. Now if I am not grilling, then I like either a simple strip steak or a filet that I can finish in the oven. Or when it is snowing, nothing beats braising a nice thick chuck steak in beef consume and veggies. I'm not sure if it counts as "steak" but it is delicious.
