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

Good, tender, flavorful.

Know the difference between Prime Rib and a Ribeye?

You roast a Prime rib whole.

Slice it and grill it and you have a Ribeye steak.

a Porterhouse. Not that I eat red meat very often any more, but if I do, it will be a Porterhouse.

I just like the texture better than any other cut.

I have one perhaps once a year or so.

all the other cuts of steak are not really that good - like "prime" is not really "prime" anymore. spent
a fortune on steaks that were not worth it at all. So, started buying 6 oz prime filet and at least you know
you will be getting a great piece of solid meat...no fat..no waste.

my 2 cents

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.

Our local butcher recommended it. So I tried it and it was great. It has lots of marbelized fat in it. One time I put one on the grille and when I came back it was in flames. So I turned it over, cooked it for about another minute. I thought it would be terrible, but it was still tender inside! NY Strips are also great.
