    Interesting show. It seems that there are inordinate amounts of recommendations to pair wine with steak, and I hardly ever eat steak. When I do I like it simply prepared, rare to medium rare, salt pepper, perhaps some seasoned butter. My favorite way to eat beef is in a nice pot roast with red wine. Mashed root veggies, salad and bread. Yum!

    QOTD: Walk a cow through a warm room – rare. That’s how I roll with my red meat, baby! Oh, and extra “marbling” or as less politically correct people (like me) call it Fatty.

    My Vikes are on a streak, look out!

    QOTD: I wouldn’t call it Pittsburgh style, but I like my steaks on the flat top (really nice crust) cooked to medium rare. I don’t like the char, just the nice flavor of the seasoning.

  • Paul M

    QTOD: well seasoned with salt and pepper, grilled, rare … except when I go to a place like Applebees where I have to ask for REALLY rare to get it rare

  • Good show Gary, that steak looked nice (and bloody), but the sticky Riesling looked awesome.

    QOTD – Medium rare, with the emphasis on the rare. Lots of black pepper, and some fried onion and mushrooms (with a touch of garlic) on the side.

    Qotd: Medium rare, glazed with any number of reductions, lightly salted and peppered,

    I hope WL is checking for IP addresses and not just going off email.

    Interesting tie in today’s show. I worked for Ruth’s Chris for a while. We had a 30 person party get one of those silver oak 6 liters. F’in corked! Best part was the dude who ordered it said it was fine!

    QOTD,
    Rare, rare, rare with no seasoning on it. Let the steak flavor come out. (must be a good cut). Sometimes rosemary on the grill also.

    My mom has always liked steak extremely rare. The legend goes…She was at a nice restaurant, and asked for a steak very rare, and was very clear to the waiter…So clear that the chef came out to clarify exactly how rare.

    She said “Knocks it horns off, wipe is a** and walk it through a warm kitchen.” That got the point across. She now knows to order it ‘bleu?’.

    Nice show BTW

    Big G, Nice one. Love the contests. Ok, first Yes I’m from the old school and have the OG wrist band. 2nd I thought you said Washington Wines would become the new Napa, not Portugal?

    QOTD: Medium Rare, like the cook prefers

    Great show Gary, I am a big steak fan.

    I have one of the green wrist bands…old school in the house!!!!

    QOTD: Medium rare, and when I am in the mood I will have it rare.

  • Jeff Perry

    Yeah, death to the Oakmonster!! I’m so sick of over-oaked, over-ripe fruit soup. But since The Fat Man raves about them, real wines are becoming endangered.

  • Wandering Moose

    QOTD – Medium / Medium Well – I like the nice pink ribbon running through the meat. I have an AWESOME Garlic marinade. Let it sit 24 hours in it, a little grilly grill and the meat just melts in your mouth.

    I have pared it with a nice south african Shiraz. That usually does the trick.

    I like your riesling idea though, i would not have thought about it – I’ll have to give it a shot.

  • QOTD: simple–salt & pepper, grilled. Preferably a ribeye since they have so much damn flavor.

    Cheers
