IMO a steak shouldnt have a sauce, not even A1. a good steak doesnt need that.




Good steaks don't need it. Doesn't mean a good sauce isn't good with a good steak sometimes.

This is my new favorite cut of beef




Rolled Cap of Ribeye

Ribeye cut of steak is still my most go to, but that rolled cap is amazing.

For me, it’s boiled steak. Boiled steak is genuinely the best way to eat steak. Much more chew and you actually feel like you’ve eaten something after. Also healthier and minimal mess because it’s literally just water in a pot. No oil or grease. Fatty cuts like ribeye are best to boil - I’ve had less success with cheap steak. Pic related was okay but really needed some ‘chup.

Whaaaaatttt??? That's what makes it so tender??


Not at all. The filet is cut from the short loin just like the backstrap of a deer. That muscle does very little work because it doesn't support weight on the animal so it has very little connective tissue in it therefore it is tender. The lack of work is also what means the filet has less "beefy" taste compared to other "steak cuts".

I like filet in things like Wellingtons but prefer a ribeye eaten as a simple steak, it has a good balance of beef taste and tenderness. That ratio is what makes each steak cut unique, in general, the more beef taste the more connective tissue and the less tender a cut is.

Snake River. Its a 3-4 times a year only for me cause it's so pricey.

You might be able to find a local butcher willing to do this cut.

Back in the height of Kroger $4.99/lb ribeyes, I'd make them myself all the time.

Isn't it the other way around? The filet, being a leaner cut, tends to not vary in quality depending on its doneness as much as a ribeye does.

I'll order a filet sometimes in a nice steakhouse, but I prefer cooking other cuts at home
