12. Porterhouse is my favorite steak.

If I'm not sharing, one good Porterhouse steak will last me 4 days, so they're BIG, but they also have bone, two different muscle meats with differing textures and flavors, and some connective tissue, which I love, not to mention fat. <--- I don't have a barbecue, so my favorite way to cook steaks is pan broiling, which involves room-temperature meat, the stove fan on high, a seasoned cast iron skillet over highest heat with no oil or other fat, a quick 2-minute sizzle on each side, then a few more minutes at a little lower heat for the thicker steaks, and a rest.

I can understand why he does not like filet mignon Fortinbras Armstrong Mar 2013 #15

You always have to have bernaise sauce with those cuts of steak with no marbelized fat in them. applegrove Mar 2013 #16

In other words, you have to add the flavor because the steak tastes of nothing Fortinbras Armstrong Mar 2013 #17
