Cooking the perfect steak

[unkoricky]

I usually get my steaks at Kroger LOL... I'll have to try a real meat market soon when i feel like spending money.

The only bad part about it, is it's Yankee beef. That said, it's where I go when I don't get it from a commercial source, only because I don't know of any other real butchers (i.e. not a grocery store) locally.

The topic at hand is prime cuts. Prime cuts don't need that shit, as they have more than enough flavor of their own. All the other stuff is masking the natural flavor, and/or making up for an incompetent cook.

I only briefly read the above posts. I typically only get meats from the average grocery store. Me and the wife moved to tx about 8 months ago and thus far have not found a good meatmarket.. All the ones around us, the meat taste the same as the grocery store just at a higher price.. I diddent take any cooking classes but I have only messed up grilling meat a hand full of times..

sprouts will ocassionally buy a large amount of prime and have it priced very well.

OK, I will see if my local Brookshires can do it before I go out to Garland.

The guys driving around going door to door probably aren't an excellent source. JK

I have actually never bought from those guys before. Usually don't even open the door.

Where can someone get prime cuts? The local grocery store? Or do you have to go to a meat market? I think I have only had choice.

HEB has them occasionally. Also you can order them online.

You've likely only had choice or less. I get mine from the commercial sector usually. OP posted up that now HEB is carrying prime cuts. There is a joint in Garland called David's Meat Market, it's actually owned by a board member's uncle (Jester). You can order things from most meat counters at the grocery store though. A while back, I ordered a 65 lb steamship round (whole leg, from ass too just above the knee cap) at Tom Thumb. So ordering a few prime filets or something should be no big deal.

No not Mexican. No I don't have a smoker, although I would like to get one, just dont have a place to put one. The mrs dash gets sraped off before it eat it, just use it for flavors. Kinda funny that everyone that has eaten a steak I cooked, has like it, and called me later to cook it again.. To each his own, I like to have flavor not just chewing on a piece of meat.

The point is, you're making steak, not beef jerky.... Liquid smoke has no place on anything, unless you don't have a smoker. And even then, only brisket. Lime juice on a steak? Are you Mexican? What the fuck is wrong with you? Two different Mrs. Dash in addition to salt and pepper? This isn't a fucking salad, hombre.


Marinades and a smorgasboard of seasonings cover up a shitty cook, and a shitty steak. Have fun with that!

yea, i'm not going to be mean but some of you guys are using cuts of steak and making things other than steak and calling it a steak.

sure, it might be good, but it's not steak.

ie: fajitas, carne asada, etc... that shit is really good but it's not steak.

Go ahead and let me know how that works out for you. Let me guess, you don't eat beef jerky either?

I literally almost threw up in my mouth a little just reading that.
