    Gary – I’ve been a lurker for the past four months since I found you on the net. I’m here now. Steak – Medium rare with lots of crusted pepper and kosher salt over a very hot charcoal fire. You have encouraged me to experiment with new wines. I looking forward to Christmas and tasting drinking my surprise pack with you.

    QOTD: I like alot of blood as much as the next guy, but for anything other than filet, I like medium rare because it affords the fat a chance to render more so than when rare…offering a juicier steak. For filet, with fat levels low, very rare…almost blue rare!!

    Grill cranked up to max.

    Rib eye, rubbed with garlic, smoked salt and a blend of white/red/black freshly ground pepper. 2 minutes on the grill, then another 2 minutes at an angle that will produce a cross hatch. Flip the steak, repeat. Finish with The Hitching Post Magic Dust (yes, that Hitching Post) and enjoy!

    QOTD: ribeye, grilled high heat, medium rare and well seasoned.

  • Hilarie Roth

    I like my steak done medium rare, warm and red in the center but well seasoned and textured on the outside, similar to Capital Grille’s Kona rubbed steak.

    O.K., my steak has to be medium rare, charcoal cooked, with salt, pepper, and a splash of Worcestershire. But, the best steak that hit this palate was char-broiled with a very thin crusty layer, almost burnt. The steak was closer to medium, but held all the juices, yes… very good.

    Love the show,

    Thanks for the update on the Friday Power Tasting episode that I had to leave a comment here and NOT by email. This is my 1st time leaving a comment and I would LOVE to have that bottle of Silver Oak in my cellar. So…..here’s what I originally sent you via email (remember, it was sent on Monday 12/17/2007):

    Gary:

    Love the Thunder Show! I watch every night after I get home from work.

    Great show today….I just bought a bottle of the 2004 Piedra Hill Purple Label. I’ll have to try it out myself to see if I agree with your tasting.

    To answer today’s question for the Silver Oak prize…..I like my steak MEDIUM RARE (and preferably from Peter Luger!)

    By the way….I am from PITTSBURGH…so maybe you’ll make the Steelers loss to the Jets go down a bit easier for me by sending me the Silver Oak!

    I’ll be in NYC on Thursday for the Pitt/Duke BB game at the Garden. Let me know if you want to join my group for dinner at Peter Luger…we would love to have you with us!

    Anyway….thanks for the great show. Keep up the good work!

    Best,

    Mark Exler

    ***ADDITIONAL COMMENT: You should have joined us at Peter Luger on Thursday…dinner was fantastic!

    Entrecote St. Jean, Montreal Quebec.
    First, you start with a cream of leek soup. Then, a small salad of Bibb lettuce with olive oil, wine vinegar and touch of salt and pepper. Then your steak, cooked medium rare and served with pomme frites.
    Profiteroles for dessert. Delicious; even better if served with a Silver Oak Cab.

    I like rare, as long as it isn’t pork.

    A 1099 is not a W2.
