Most great Steakhouses will tend to "undercook" the meat (in my experience). This is why I will order it medium. Otherwise in any other place, the go to is medium-rare.

And even if it is "undercooked" you always have the opportunity to ask for just a few more seconds on the grill to make it a bit less bloody...

Hi ....your wrong......!!
A Porterhouse is a mix between A filet and NY Strip (also known as Strip Loin ) as is the T-Bone ... A T-bone and Porterhouse are both from the same peice of meat only different ends the porter house comes from the "Butt" end which has a larger piece of Filet while the T-bone is from the Tip side that has less filet.
As for the Rib eye it is well cut off the ribs the cut it comes from is called a rib roast or standing rib roast if it is bone in. Ribeye is the same cut that prime rib is derived from when cooked in roast form.
In the past Ribeye has always been my favorite but I must say lately that Porterhouse has been my Steak of choice Just about every other weekend I have been purchasing a whole half cut at about 2" steaks .... MMMMMM
All that being said I think as it stands now porterhouse is my favorite steak right now and I save my rib roast to smoke a nice prime rib..
OO and to anyone who cooks any beef above medium EAT SOMETHING ELSE you are wasting good cow

Oh the useless knowledge.....I wasted my parents money on culinary school when I was 18.

I hate to quote myself, but I am also only partially correct in this post.
The porterhouse does come form a different end of the cow. I was correct that a porterhouse is thicker, but the filet is also larger as well.
Alton Brown cleared this up last night.
He made me very hungry last night.

Skirt steak is definitely not tough. BBQ some marinated skirt steak sometime, it is so good. I think its one of the more tender cuts of meat.

Cost/Benefit ratio means I get Sirloin in resteraunts. Ribeye if I fell like Ive deserved it or Dad's paying . Medium rare ALWAYS.
You steak freaks really need to mosey on down to Argentina. I had almost nothing but steak and wine 3 meals a day. You cant order the meat cooked differently (its always medium rare) and there no such thing as steak sauce.
You cant beat a steak and glass of Malbec.

Damn guys I missed this thread. I just had a feast at Sparks Steakhouse last night.
I eat meat medium rare, a little more on the rare side. I've never cooked steak, but usually have it when I go out to a place that has good meat.
Chain steakhouses suck. Ruth's Chris is garbage. I've noticed this with steakhouses that have expanded over the years. Morton's has questionable cuts, and Smith & Wollensky has tanked since they expanded. Come to NY, we have a good percentage of the nation's top steakhouses.
Anyone been to Del Frisco's. First time I was there, I was not totally pleased, I'm curious how it is in other cities.
I can't seems to find meat that is beter tasting than Peter Luger's anywhere. I'm not a huge fan of the restaurant, and 4 year old could memorize the menu, but he meat is unique.
Maybe Peter Luger's uses CDN AAA...............
I like blood too, it's like a freshly slaughtered animal.
I've noticed skirt steak has become popular in the past few years. If it's marinated properly, it can be extremely tender and tasty. It's become a very popular dish at South American restaurants. Its demand and price have increased alot recently. I'm a regular at a Columbian and a Peruvian restaurant. Always order the skirt steak at the places. It's a good change of pace.

I've had better steaks in Northern Cali, and mid Cali.
One of the best places I've had steak in Cali is in the town of Nipomo (near Pismo Beach) Jockos Steakhouse
The best steaks I've had were in Chicago, and surprisingly Vegas.

I like Ruths' Chris. The one in Nashville is pretty good, but the Louisville one is the best I have ever had.
They have gone down hill some, since Ruth died though. I do enjoy their lettuce wedge, ribeye, and shoestrings.......
We eat RC's every third Friday of each month........what can I say, the parents love it and treat....who am I to eat Taco Bell
What are people's opinion of the Palm? I think their lunch deal is decent. salad, NY Strip, and 1/2 and 1/2 for 15.95 with drink......
I hate Morton's!!!!!!!!
