Fav STEAK Recipe?

Ok, what kind of cut. It makes a difference. Some steaks are going to be naturally tender and others needs some stuff to make it so. Find a Black Angus beef supplier, personally I think they are the best consitant meat.

Most steakhouses don't marinade much or do much prep to the meat other than cooking it properly. Getting a good sear on the outside to seal in the juices is the make it/break it with most cuts of steak. I would start with the common grilled steak and then toy with your own ways of braising or marinading. The KISS method is great for steaks. AZ hummerboy brought up a good point also. Develop your own rub and hand rub salt, pepper and what every else you come up with. I do a rub for our venision back straps most of the time when we cook it. But my rub consists of everything in the frig and spice cabinet.
