Steak.

[El Stormo]

Guess you don't like spending your evening on anything else than preparing food.

charcoal is cool for the big saturday cookout or beerbutt chickens or something, but propane rules for the quick daily grilling.

I have a really nice smoker grill. I am not going to fire that bitch up for two steaks, which is typically what I cook. If I am having friends over, or I am smoking a boston butt, or a briskit, then I work with it. Pan searing a steak is a very good way of cooking. A lot of 5 star restaurants do it that way.

Pan-searing is the only way to truly taste the meat. Charcoal is fun for cookouts and whatnot but it alters the taste of the meat in an unnatural way.

I prefer to cook my steak on a gas grill to medium rare. I refuse to cook a steak without Spade L Ranch steak rub. It is great because it doesn't cover up the steak flavor, it enhances it. You can find it in the Albertson's butcher section.

I would fire up my grill for two steaks. Do you know how simple it is to light a charcoal grill? Good god let it sit for a little awhile and prepare the rest of the meal. It is not back-breaking extra work you gotta do but whatever. We all like our MEAT in different ways if you know what I mean

I have to say I was going to make a green eggs and ham reference but... STEAK!!!! It's great fried, baked, broiled, flambeed, snorted, injected, or grilled. I have to say certain cuts of meat need to be treated and cooked differently. However with cooking aside I feel its all about the cut of meat. I personally find that a new york-strip steak is the best fall back cut out there. I would honestly hump at the chance to suck down Kobe beef but I don't think thats going to happen anytime soon.
So the question I ask is: Whats your favorite cut of beef?
Also what do you pair it with? Me I choose potatoes and a green salad for most of the cooking types. If I am grilling I tend to mostly add grilled vegetables, potatoes, tomatoes, asparagus, egg plant, onions, peppers, etc..
