Yer.. Expensive
We still just go Costco for beef and steak. Price is good and i still say if cooked right it can taste as nice as what you can get in good restaurants

You can't go wrong with sirloin.

Fillet is tasteless in comparison to ribeye and sirloin that's why they are served with pepper sauces etc, I used to like sirloin and now find ribeye nicer with a better blend of meat and fat, T bone is OK but difficult to cook as the meat shrinks leaving it proud of the pan so not getting the burnt darker bits.
For me it's sirloin / rib eye as thick as you thumb on edge, out from fridge at least an hour before, smoking hot griddle 2 mins each side, wrap in foil dull side in and 6 mins resting, all the juices poured over the chips and some veg hmmmmm

Only way to eat steak is Rare. Anything else is fail.
Cut it so the blood/juice pours out and then use your chips to mop it up.
Beautiful.

Very good advice. I have just come back from Florence, and had the best steak of my life. "Bistecca alla Fiorentina" was utterly delicious, but you could recreate it over here if you have a good butcher. You just want about a 1k bone in T-Bone Steak. Good quality meat is essential for this, as is olive oil, garlic, rosemary & Thyme.
Utter, utter tosh.

I'd always go for a Rib-eye, but quite frankly I've had some amazing rump steaks from a local farm recently, so in my view as long as you buy a well-hung, superior quality beef then you can't go wrong (as long as you cook it correctly).
Have you got any 'premium' butchers or a local farm that sells its own beef? If so I would tend to try there first.
Oh, and you can't hang a cut of beef in the fridge!

Never had the chance to eat this, but really want to give it a try. Don't fancy doing it myself as I want to make sure it is done the classic way. Not eaten out where it has been on the menu, apart from some crappy French cafe's, so I thought I would give it a miss.
To the OP,
This, unless you want to spend a fair whack and buy a nice fillet.
I would also advise trying a steak cooked medium / rare. I know you say you like them medium / well done, but that is wrong, just so wrong.

No, sauces on steaks is blasphemy
