  • I’m not very original; I lake my steak seared and rare.

  • Ed Cesarone

    QOTD: steak seasoned with pepper and garlic flakes; grilled rare.

  • James Conley

    Always medium with salt and pepper, and a little A1 steak sauce on the side.

  • Ivan C.

    QOTD – A nice thick cut of ribeye, covered generously in kosher salt and fresh-cracked pepper, a light rub with olive oil. Seared on a super-hot (600F+) grill, cooked rare. Then drizzled with an aromatic xv olive oil and squeeze of fresh lemon juice, or chimichurri.

  • Steak? If its a lean cut i.e. Fillet or Porterhouse then Black and blue. If its a marble peice like a Rib Eye, I like it done a little more than that. The last time I was at Del Friscos I had a black and blue Rib Eye and it was just too tough to eat.

    I’ve always wanted to buy one of the top end raw steaks and cook it at home. Although, the fillets we get from Costco are pretty tasty.

    The late harvest Riesling looked amazing! Thanks for another great show, Gary. But I was getting a little worried when you smacked yourself in the head! ouch!
    QOTD: medium rare.. mmmmmm

  • jesseix

    Love the idea of the dessert wine with the steak. My grandpa is such a steak & cab fanatic, he’d probably throw me out of the house if i served that, haha…
    Props on the Smith & Wollensky’s reference by the way, one of those awesome steakhouses that goes pretty much unknown in CA. Had a great bone-in ribeye there with the truffled mac n cheese, which is to die for.

    That being said, favorite steak is at Mastro’s in Beverly Hills, they serve an amazing 18oz bone-in filet on sizzling hot plates. Get it in between medium/medium-rare, with a side of creamed spinach and shoestring fries. Certainly not for any low-calorie fanatics, but who cares, its worth the heart attack

    QOTD – Medium Rare
    I used to go with Pittsburg (sp?) rare, but then I realized that the carbonized meat was cancerous 😉

    PS – I have a vintage wrist band, AND I sent my picture in!! 😉

    I prefer to grill my own steak, GV. New York preferably, splash some extra virgin on that baby, mince some rosemary and thyme, sprinkle sea salt and cracked black pepper and grill medium, that’s right GV, with that delicious crust and bloody red on the inside. Perfection.

  • James H

    I like my steak medium rare, preferably with caramelized onions, cracked peppercorns, and (if I’m really lucky!) maybe a bit of hot sauce.

    Another steak question for the vegetarians! Oh well, we gotta send Montana Legend some love for all their coolness… radoolness? It seems odd to me now, but once upon a time I liked my steaks pretty red, and spicy as you please.

    QOTD: Definitely Rare to Medium Rare. I basically like it walking off the plate.

Get it between medium/medium-rare with creamed spinach and shoestring fries… ridiculous. Not for the low-calorie fans for sure, but who cares, its worth the heart attack. If I had the gear at home to cook it like they do I would never leave my house

    My wife and I each have the old classic wristband and are still waiting for the new one to arrive. We wait out by the mailbox…any day now!!!!

  • JBerardo

    QOTD: steak…chop it up, add a little raw egg, some onion, e.v.o.o., salt and pepper and et voila!

    p.s. Tom Brady doesn’t eat steak; he eats the Jets for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

    QOTD- Medium rare, or even leaning toward rare is good. Salt, pepper, and a sprinkling of olive oil before being thrown on the flames.

    I have to say that a medium-rare with a warm butter drizzle hits me in all the right spots. Pair that up with a great wine and you got yourself the best meal money can buy!

    Great show as always.
