Sunday Night Soups: Beef Chili con Carne With Meat (Gurgling Cod Remix)

Can't get more Korean than red pepper powder (gochu garu) and tons of garlic!

I will second/third/fourth Peter Luger.

I always get the Porterhouse for Two, even if it's just for one (me). It's a steak in the black and blue style, with a delectable seared crust and buttery rare-raw insides. Definitely the pinnacle of beef, don't mess it up with their steak sauce, it's good, but only with the onions or tomatoes.

I can vouch for the Brooklyn location (the original), I've heard the Long Island one is less authentic.

I have to agree with the above comment. Beef chile with meat with meat just seems odd. Also, this is an 'y frijoles' recipe, since it has frijoles in it.

Any churrasceria is fantastic. But we do great steaks on the grill at home. Grilled medium served with twice-baked potatoes and creamed spinach. Yummy!

Hands Down...Carl's Chop House...a Detroit landmark where blue ribbon awards abound for aged prime beef.
I always order small portioned sides--salad w/Roquefort dressing,grilled veggie,plain butter only baked potato, and bone-in rib eye,medium rare w/ sauted mushrooms.
Actually, when in steak heaven, I aim to focus on the meat! Any other acoutrements and dessert are unnecessary.

I will also say I'd prefer a steak on the grill any day. My dad used to grill angus steaks and we'd eat them with sweet corn we'd picked up that day. The best summer meal!

peter luger's, although del frisco's bone-in ribeye is a close second. for a more non-traditional steak, chaya makes a rather tasty ribeye with peppercorn sauce.

but i'd take a charcoal grilled steak made at home, eaten outside on the patio with good friends over the priciest steakhouse.

Wow - a lot of the ones that I enjoy have been mentioned. I don't travel like I used to, but I will say that my favorite steak place is my backyard.
A decent cut of meat and depending on the mood, marinated in a tumbler and tossed into a "green Egg" going full bore (+/- 800F). Has the advantage that I can have a few martinis and not worry about driving. I once catered my sons little league practice whice also had two father's who were the "premiere" chefs for the immediate area - they were begging for the steak recipes....
