Steaks. Vegetarians need not apply

[the game]

What is your favorite cut of steak and how do you like it prepared?

I prefer New York Strips cooked medium rare and basted in garlic butter and piled high with good mushrooms.

I am on and off vegetarian and sometimes vegan, but my favorite cut of steak is a skirt steak. Used to be the ribeye, but skirt steaks offer the better flavor experience. Not sure why they aren't more popular.

Hangar steaks are something I'd like to try at some point, as I've heard that they're even more flavorful.

I know certain cuts are better certain ways, according to people with more cultured palates than my own. But for me, NY strip, rare as possible. General guideline I give is "the less safe the chef feels about serving it, the better."

That has led to one or two smartass chefs sending me a literal raw piece of meat. They get a tip for the sense of humor.

I like a good scotch fillet, with a green pepper sauce and mushrooms.

Cooked blue, because everything else is RUINED!

[Splenda]

I am not a huge fan of steak. I'm honestly unsure what cut my favorites have been. Med rare or med for me.

[Th3Scourge]

A nice dry-aged scotch fillet with a high marble score mmmmmm

[Boricha]

I don't eat much steak. The only one that stands out in my mind was called "Louisiana-style" steak at some restaurant 7+ years ago.

[EnclosedOne]

give me just about any type of well done meat and I'll eat it, i'm not picky in that regard. I can deal with a little bit of pink but anything more raw then that is an absolute no, i'm not going to risk getting e.coli from under cooked meat

[breadisfunny]

a nice good well done ribeye steak.
also a porterhouse.

[IIamaKing]

NY Strip for me, med rare to medium. Seared in a cast iron skillet.

[avitush]

Ribeye, anywhere from medium well to well done. Lots of butter, garlic, and mushrooms. Baked sweet potato (with butter and brown sugar) as a side. And a Guinness or two to drink.

edit: I also like a good T-bone every once in a while.

Flank steak. Rare and juicy

Beyond Meat is coming out with their version of steak, so probably that one.

[chazus]

I am on and off vegetarian and sometimes vegan

What does this mean exactly? I'm legitimately curious.

Tomahawk steaks.

Try it and the carnivore in you will never be the same.

how can you be on and off vegetarian and vegan at the same time?

She goes through prolonged periods of not eating meat, or not eating any animal products. How is that not self explanatory?

[Ealyssa]

Best cut is hard to say. Maybe sirloin ?

But the cooking is easy : nice high sear crust and nearly raw inside. Salt. Pepper. No sauce, great meat doesnt need any.

Cause it sounds extremly stupid and attention seeking... you're not a vegetarian cause you don't ate meat today, or yesterday, or the last week.

"Hey I'm only racist on mondays" or "I believe in god on weekends" or "sometime I think earth is flat, sometime not" would be on the same level of retarded.

I was vegetarian only for years and years (almost a decade) then I started getting anemic and my lactose intolerance has gotten worse in the last 5 years. Black beans and other vegan/vegetarian sources of iron don't really cut it. I mostly stick to veg, fruit, protein shakes, and egg whites, but will let myself eat red meat when I'm really craving it. Also chicken breast off and on. Mostly around my period. Dairy is really rough on me (milk/ice cream being the big culprits).

I was put on the Mirena because my doctor thought it would help my iron levels, which it did but caused a lot of other issues. So it's eat meat or get blood infusions.

Honestly I feel healthier overall when I limit my meat (and dairy) intake as much as possible and am not against eating meat if animals are ethically raised and the animal gets as a painless a death as possible, and think overall we should eat more wild game.

Really weird how I'm developing weird food intolerances as I'm getting older, could basically eat anything as a kid. I'd roll my eyes at people talking about allergies, thinking that most of them are being weirdly picky with their food. But here I am...

Not sure if it's due to our agricultural system/overfarming/pesticides or it's normal and I'm just getting older (?). Or (fill in the blank).

Exactly what it sounds like. They go through periods where they eat meat, periods where they don’t eat meat but still eat other animal products, and times when they don’t eat any animal products. It’s becoming more common.

Yup, that's it exactly. Thanks.

Ribeye, medium rare, salt, pepper, butter, a few herbs. I get mine at Costco, usually choice, sometimes prime if I feel like splurging.
