Who has the best steak in town?

[Anaconda]

Only about 2% of all cattle grade out at USDA Prime.

 

Flemings seems to beat out Ruth Chris here in central Calif.

 

The best I ever had was Smith & Wolenskies in Chicago. Dry aged USDA prime. Full dinners ran well over hundred bucks a person, with appetizers and a cocktail, but it was worth it.

 

I sell upper end beef for a living. The reason restaurants get the best beef is because the public usually will not pay for it. A good aged, cut steak can run upwards of $20 a pound, Filet Mignons more like $35.

Costco does carry some Prime, but it isn't aged.

There are a number of specialty products on the market that will blow your socks off, but you will never find them in a store or 99.9% of butcher shops.

Not sure if you know this, but when they grade steak, no matter what only a certain percantage can be prime. I think it is 10-20%. So if a bunch gets inspected at once, only a small portion can be labeled prime. So choice or better is pretty often prime, or very close to it.

my first choice will be Morton's, mastro's, dominick's and then ruth chris, fleming's used to be good but since outback bought them out is another corporate crop!!

but why pay $ 60.00 for a steak when you can grill them yourself, is a ripoff and also in the high end steak houses never find a decent wine for less the $60.00 or $ 70.00 bucks.

I know who has the best steaks in town, me.

Below is Moorak Obrahma, and I can't wait to smell his ribeyes grilling over a mesquite fire.

 

He and his buddies will be served up next winter as we host outback trail rides and cook gourmet meals. It's like having steaks in the sticks.

Far as brick and mortar goes, Monti's steaks are corn and grass fed beef flown in from Nebraska. Just don't get caught taking any silverware. Michael Monti is a third degree blackbelt in the American Kenpo Karate Assoc. Last time he and I squared off on the mat, his warrior face alone was rather unsettling

never heard of El Corral. Growing up in Tucson, always went to OK Corral or Pinnacle Petes when we wanted to embarrass someone.

That is the best name I have ever seen for a steer. Ever.

Dominics at Scottsdale quarter. Lots of selection of cuts usually with choice of bone in or bone out for most cuts. Best I've ever had

I had a good one at silver saddle in Tucson the other night.

Arrowhead grill in Glendale is the best in town for my money on the west side for sure Mastro's on the Eastside. just went to Gordon Ramsay's steak in Las Vegas and hands down the best I've ever had. order a side of the bone marrow demi glaze to go with your wagou rib cap, but plan on a dinner for two to be around 250.

The best steak I ever ate was on the Jackshoe Ranch north of Roosevelt Lake. It was cooked by my good friend Ted Bounds, aka jackshoe, but as far as who has the best steaks around this state it has to go to my wife Peg. No one will ever compare and I'll bet my life on it. Not only are they the best it comes with sautéed mushrooms and onions and all the beer you can drink. Did I mention it's free?

Fargo's in Payson is worth the drive!

I have eaten at fargos before. I could use the steak to retread my Goodyear all terains. YUCK..I know what i say I have been in Payson for 50 years...Ruth Chris or Carvers is a much much better choice...just saying

I only go there to buy Corn Tortillas. The meat I have seen isn't kept cold enough. Same as Pro's Ranch Market, very poor quality control compared to where I usually shop which is Sprouts or Food City.

I see Monti`s in Tempe is closing its doors in 2 weeks. Michael looks pretty distraught over the decision. Hope doing so gives him more time to spend with his family, music and Kenpo.
