To each his own, I like my steak slightly wounded with burns on the outside. AFA women go, it depends on whether one is looking for a short term or long term position. I certainly hope you enjoy that warm Blue Bell.  xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members.

I thought this was interesting. http://amazingribs.com/recipes...eakhouse_steaks.html Cooking a steak tomorrow - ny strip (choice from costco). The seasoning will be fresh ground black pepper, sal grossol (brazilian salt) and very light olive oil. Hopefully wont rain so I can use charcoal weber. Mike | |||

Basically the same technique as the one you just used. I think using thermapens for steaks is kind of silly because it is so easy to judge "doneness" by feel. Finally:
I'm not eating at this guys house, I figure at least 3/4 pound of boneless ribeye per person and that includes some females who eat less. If I'm only eating 3/4 pound there had better be some good sides or salad. xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members.

Ate at Killen's steak house in Houston this weekend. Only place I've been (or heard off) that has (5) different types of dead cow on the menu ! Nice wine list. Had Elmer T. Lee on the menu AND in stock ! Extensive list of sides and Some truly great ones. Steak was perfect ! If you go, get the jalapeño grits, avoid their mashed potatoes. Take a good deal of cash, NOT cheap ! | |||

Had an excellent steak in South Carolina low country. Was hunting with subsailor74 and he introduced me to this place. Best $ value in steak - $20 for an excellent steak, baked potatoe, salad, ice tea and desert. It's self serve where you have to call in your steak order and how you want it cooked. It's an old garage that is now a restaurant. Steak is only served on Saturday nights and there are 2 sittings. Went there straight from the deer stand in cammo and 1/2 the patrons were dressed the same. http://www.haroldscountryclub.com Mike | |||

Since I mastered the reverse sear my consumption of steak at steak houses has gone done significantly. For my taste I make as good or better steak at home - my sides need some work. Mike | |||

We got stunned last night. It was our last night in Palm Springs (Rancho Mirage really) and rather than drive all over looking for another restaurant we really didn't know anything about, we decided to walk over from the motel to a steakhouse that looked great from the outside. Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar. https://www.flemingssteakhouse...ns/ca/rancho-mirage/ I thought this was a one-off, but there are 70 around the country, including one about 30 minutes from where we live. When we got within spitting distance of the door, a young man opened it for us and welcomed us in. The two young ladies at the desk looked too young to be good, but they were well trained and professional, and had our last minute reservation. The interior of the restaurant was very nice. The young man that offered us water, we thought was our waiter, but he was not; just a young man with a pitcher of water that left the impression that he felt he held the most important job in the place. You don't usually see that amount of pride. The waitress was very professional. What I'm getting at is that I've never seen a team that was as well-trained as this group. There was a well-dressed man watching over the operation that I would have said was the owner. Now I'm not sure. He stopped by our table twice to ensure we were being well taken care of, and that the food met our expectations. We're not as important as those people made us feel. As to the food, absolutely off the chart. I'm saying this is our new favorite steakhouse although neither my wife nor I had a steak. We had the Miso Glazed Chilean Sea Bass and a special that evening of Sea Scallops. Both were a 10 on a scale of 10; perfectly seasoned and cooked. I had their signature onion rings on the side and they were as perfect as the waitress said they would be. My wife had a glass of Innocent Bystander (Yarra Valley Pinot Noir, Australia) and I had the Les Cadrans de Lassegue (Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, France). Both were excellent. We thought Fleming's had as good a wine list as we've seen in some time. At least ten that we knew well, and liked. Dessert was a Walnut Turtle Pie that we fought over. I would lay a significant bet that the steaks, had we ordered them, would have been perfection. For two, you will spend close to $200, but if this first try was any indication, you'll be a very happy camper. What this visit did was sell us on a trip to our Fleming's the next special occasion that comes up. With 70 Fleming's countrywide, there is no-way the high standard we experienced can be maintained across the brand. Whoever owned and operated this restaurant in Rancho Mirage knew what he was doing, and his staff obviously bought-in to his vision. | |||

I do believe I’ve been to the one here (Plano) some time back. It was decent, but somewhat unremarkable. I like closer to downtown and it’s hard to pass up some of these options. However, most of my family is in Plano and Frisco, so we often meet up that way. Christmas dinner was at the new Del Frisco’s in Legacy West. Yes, actual Christmas dinner out was different for us, but a divorce caused us to change our home cooked tradition. I was impressed with the food and service. I think the location was fairly new, small chain, large party (about 20), and Christmas. I meant to be DSC Member...bad typing skills. Marcus Cady DRSS | |||

Went to Fleming's in Plano last night with my wife. The experience wasn't as good as the Fleming's at Rancho Mirage. The wine was as good. We had the same we had in RM matter of fact. For the entree I had the Barbecue Scottish Salmon Fillet. It was excellent. My wife had the Miso-Glazed Chilean Sea Bass. She said it was perfect. We had a side of sauteed mushrooms that were very good. The Turtle Pie dessert was a little disappointing. Service was a 7 of 10. Ambiance was a 7 of 10. The place looked pretty plain-Jane inside and the noise level needed to have been turned down a few notches. We've yet to have a steak at Fleming's. I doubt we'll be back, so we'll have to consider Fleming's a fish house. | |||

Same as going to a Tex Mex place in the middle of the desert and ordering their fish.

Makes perfect sense when the barbecue place doesn't hold up to its reputation and fried fish and Q are both Southern favorites. I like the company I keep in your imagination, but they are all dead.

Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse in Plano proved to be interesting. https://delfriscos.com/steakhouse/plano/ Nice place. Got to tell you up front. Neither my wife nor I had red meat. Got seated, menus, water, bread. Ordered appetizers and wine (by the glass). Everything looking good. Then .......... nothing. Not completely nothing. We got our water glass topped-off about fifteen times. Appetizers arrive..........still no wine. I called the floor manager over and basically said "WTF". He apologized and nailed the waiter who responded to him by saying he was "waiting on the bartender". The bread was good. The appetizer was Seared Hudson Valley Foie Gras for two. If you've had foie gras in Paris, this won't impress you; too greasy and tasteless. The wine arrived, then we got serious. My wife had the Seared Chilean Sea Bass. I ordered the Del's Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes with a side of Lobster Macaroni & Cheese. Jesus Christ! That Mac & Cheese was incredible. On a scale of 10, the Bass and Crab Cakes were a perfect 10, and the Mac & Cheese was an 11. Dessert was "on the house" for our anniversary. It was a flight of desserts. Chocolate Souffle "molten center) Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream, Butter Cake with Butter Pecan Ice Cream & Caramel. Another perfect 10 performance. The entire experience went from a 7 to a 9 when I got the bill and the waiter mentioned that the wine was "on the house" since we had to wait so long. (I like restaurants that notice their mistakes and are proactive in resolving the issues.) Del Frisco's and Perry's http://www.perryssteakhouse.co...tions/dallas/frisco/ are our go-to steakhouses, although we've never had a steak at either. Restaurant Week is coming up in the Dallas area. Anyone close (Gato) needs to check-out the deals. Great restaurants at great prices. | |||

We did our family Christmas dinner there last year. We were a party of at least 15 or more. Service was great despite being packed and the holiday. Food was excellent. I had been to their previous location on Spring Valley (now Al Biernet’s North) and Fort Worth. They’ve never disappointed. It was founded by Dale Wamstead, who then started III Forks. D Magazine recently released their 10 best steakhouses in Dallas. Pappa’s came out on top again. I’ve yet to go there, as I have many great ones close by me (just north of downtown) and Pappa’s is a little far, especially after drinking maybe with my steak. That being said, I like Al Biernet’s (Oak Lawn), Bob’s (Lemmon), Eddie V’s, Nick & Sam’s, and Ocean Prime. It seems that once you break into the upper echelon, they’re all pretty close together. I don’t recall if I’ve mentioned them before, but the Beehive/Fort Griffin Gen. Mdse. In Albany, Texas is one of my all time favorites. It might be because I’m always hunting while there, or it’s just damn good. I meant to be DSC Member...bad typing skills. Marcus Cady DRSS | |||

Oh, Perry’s is good. I believe it came in from Houston. Previously, there was another Perry’s, but changed to Place at Perry’s due to IP issues. Also good. Morton’s doesn’t do it for me, unless it’s Chicago. Wanting an Argentine asado experience, as I spend damn near a half year there, I tried Corrientes 348 in downtown. The only thing that tasted like Argentina was the Quilmes and Malbec. The empanada (fried meat pie) sucked. I’ve had frozen Hot Pockets better. The server offered me the 3 empanada deal, but I said I wanted to try one first. The other items bife de chorizo (ribeye), costillas (ribs), chorizo (sausage links, not the Mexican style), all seemed to disappoint. As I was leaving, I asked if any Argentines worked there, he replied no. I said it was evident, but not in a condescending way. Just about any self respecting Argentine can make a good asado. I love the meat there, but we also have great meat in Texas. The chimichurri was decent. I meant to be DSC Member...bad typing skills. Marcus Cady DRSS | |||

Since my son-in-law is from Santa Fe, Argentina, I will tell him about Corrientes. We found the same problem you mention at Tango Empanadas in Allen, The owners are from Argentina, but they say Americans don't go for true Argentine cuisine. Their empanadas are not light and flaky. They are good, but large and stuffed with meat,etc. (Their chimichurri is excellent.) One of their top sellers is a brisket empanada. | |||

I have tried Tango and found the same. There is a place in Irving called Argentina Bakery, but I have not tried it yet. We had a number of cocktail parties here and had our chef come up to make empanadas. Obviously, the ingredients were bought here. They tasted proper, so it’s not the availability of ingredients.

I enjoy Argentine meat cooking greatly BUT it ain't THAT good. For the difference in cost of plane ticket money you can eat a helluva lot better steaks here in the USA.

I positively can't wait until you go to a fine seafood restaurant and review the steak you ordered there. I do trust you palate. I just don't understand your choices. AFA your experience at Del Frisco's steakhouse compared to mine, we wouldn't have one to compare. Any who know me, knows patience is not my middle name and when something as simple as an order or wine is screwed up, I start looking at the second hand on my watch. Two times around, 2 minutes, and if it ain't fixed, I'm gone.

Maybe do some duck hunting. High volume dove shooting does not appeal to a terrible shotgunner like me. Seems like a nice country for a road trip. The steak and food will be a add on. Mike | |||
