    QOD- medium rare
    I’ve never seen you drink so much wine on the thunder show. I’ll have to try the riesling and steak pairing.

  • Mike E

    QOTD: Well done is my preference.

  • nickel and dimed

    Medium rare to medium. I wish there was a way to get away from the “bottle variation” when it comes to steak preparedness. Gary, what’s your favorite steakhouse?

  • Robert C from Folsom Prison

    Brick bloody rare with bacon wrapped, sometimes a little blue cheese on top.
    Recently had a super tuscan 2003 Antinori Villa with steak & was very good rather than my usuall Caymus Cab.

    Will have to try the late harvest with steak. Medium rare on the grill with olive oil and salt/pepper rub.

  • QOTD: Well Done! Black and crispy!

  • MARSHALL

    Cool pairing with the riesling. Too bad I’m not a steak person.
    QOTD: If its Kobe Beef i’ll eat it raw, otherwise medium well or medium.

  • Richard Spence

    Nothing but AAA Alberta Beef. Medium Well. Mmm.

  • DandyLionWino

    I like my steak medium-rare, and to all you chefs out there, by that I dont mean medium : ). I’m not too big into Marinades or Rubs. Only thing extra is maybe some mushrooms, but other than that, just me, the steak, and the blood/juice afterwards. 🙂

    What a timely show. We’re having dinner with the boss at Ruth Chris Steakhouse tomorrow. I’d love to try the late harvest Riesling but may have to go with the Cab or something similar…

    QOTD: I like medium rare, Carl like medium.

  • Ethan N

    medium rare, plain or with a little butter, salt, and pepper.

  • JamesN.

    QOTD; I like my steak medium rare. I have both wrist bands.
    I would of never thought of a desert wine with steak, but if it works, why not? Thanks for the show and the education.

    QoTD: Rare. But you know if you like it rare you still have to order it medium in restaurants cause you’ll get it rare anyways.

    qotd: med rare. for anyone that likes it charred,, I will crush you!! Arrgh, my mother in law demanded charred, I made her a GOOD steak and medium (I acquiesced and made it medium) she was surprised it tasted good.

  • Mason

    Steak…I almost can’t think of anything but steak after seeing your first bite! Great show, and congrats to Eric. If he doesn’t email you, I’ll take it! Anyway, that is the first time that I have heard of a late harvest Riesling with steak! I must try it soon!!!!

    QOTD: I like my steak medium rare as long as there is a great sear on the outside of the steak. If the temp is too low, and there isn’t a good sear, then I will take it medium (preferably with a Napa Cab!)

  • Hey GV,

    I like my steak 3/4 done! We panamanians like the charring!! yeah!

    QOTD – Medium fresh off the grill.

  • Fevernova

    QOTD: Tartar. Very easy to make in the winter when you don’t want to grill in the cold.

  • Ned

    medium rare, pinkish at the very center.

    Medium Rare, the only way

  • drew

    Depends on the steak. A big juicy fillet 2 1/2 inches thick pink center slightly charred on the outside. NY strip medium rare. Never any steak sauce! lightly seasoned with salt and pepper only. All consumed with a beautiful bottle of California Cab.

  • drewH

    Medium Rare…cooked in a cab. sauv., beef broth, and minced shallot reduction sauce.

  • hingrman

    I like my steak still mooooing

  • Jason Chu

    QOTD: Med Rare

    I think i speak for a lot of people who leave questions for you on Facebook Gary. I believe one reason there are lurkers is that we leave questions for you and many of them… and i mean MANY of them aren’t answered.

    That’s just my perspective.
