The "BEST" steak?
Well, number one, that's a matter of "taste" with no REAL answer because all our taste buds are different and we all prefer different flavors!
Little town just south of us has the "Circle H" steakhouse! EVERYONE raves about just how good the steaks are!
So we tried it!
1) They must slaughter "mini" beef cattle! I've seen bigger steaks off a squirrel!
2) Price was just opposite the steak size! Thought I was going to have to make a loan to get out the door! Almost $50 for two palm sized steaks!
3) Worst of all! They rub some sort of seasoning on the steak that is "sweet"! It's almost like the steak was "candied"!
"YUCK!"
EVERY Sunday, you can't find a parking spot within a hundred yards of the place! The after-church crowd packs the place!
Out by my shop, I have a smoker a friend built for me!
A good arm load of mesquite, two nice steaks from the meat market (NOT the grocery store!), couple of spuds the size of an elephant turd and some 'shrooms"!
Get a good, rip roaring, hot fire in the firebox. Massage those spuds with real butter, wrap in foil and put them in the top of the smoker.
In about 30 minutes when the raging inferno has turned into a glowing bed of coals, rub a little garlic powder and black pepper on the steaks, wrap loosely with foil and place them on the shelf below the spuds!
THEN, go in the house, slice the 'shrooms and saute them in a cast iron skillet with a butt load of butter, chopped garlic and a sprinkle of pepper!
When the 'shrooms are done, the spuds soft, the steaks like cutting butter, throw it all on a plate and chow down!
As for the spud, I like butter, salt, pepper, Bac-O-Bits, some of the 'shrooms and some shredded cheese!
THAT, to me, is the VERY BEST steak!
My preference is a "club steak". A club steak is a "bone in rib eye"!
THAT'S my story and I'm sticking to it!
