What's your favorite cut of steak?
I'm going to a pretty nice steakhouse this weekend so I am looking for thoughts. I usually order a filet, but I've heard that it's not always the best cut. So what do you guys consider the best cut of steak when you eat it?
Interesting. Interesting.

I disagree. The eating experience combines both taste and consistency. Fliet has a much better consistency than ribeye. If done correctly, fliet literally melts in your mouth. The taste is not as robust, but the taste+consistency overall is better.
Also, if the filet is bacon-wrapped, not only is it easier to cook to a melt-in-your-mouth consistency, but the bacon also intensifies the natural flavour of the meat.

My man! Thats what I'm talkin about!
Many of my friends insist that medium rare/rare is the way to go for a big steak but I think if cooked properly Medium is by far the best for taste/consistency.
I dont like having blood squirting around in my mouth

at the end.Thank god. I just presumed you take your steak very seriously.
Best steak(s) I've ever eaten were in Montana and the cut didn't matter. Even a shithole sports bar had better steak than anything I could find around here.
