Good Morning America...Ok my question today is for all you Pumas out there...I've 7 days to go before I book my ADRS and one of my restaurant choices is Yachtsmen Steakhouse..Now I've studied the menu, licked my lips several times,and have my steak down to two choices..The Ribeye or the Bone in Rib...I've ruled out the 28oz Porter because I've seen the monster and it's way out of my league,( not the price,the size ) Now my DS will definitely opt for the New York Strip,and my DW will go for the Fillet...Now my Texan brother in law loves the Ribeye as he reckons the marble adds flavour to the steak...But I'am interested to here your votes...Ribeye or Bone in Rib...?...What would you choose and why.?

I would definitely go with the Bone in Rib. Any meat cooked on the bone just tastes better, IMO.

I'm a Fillet girl, so I don't have a good answer.

I completely agree with BarbaraB. Meat is always better on the bone, be it beef, chicken, or pork. While I've never eaten at the Yachtsmen Steakhouse, I've had the opportunity to eat a bone-in ribeye at a high-end steakhouse, and I recommend it to anybody. Take it medium or med-rare!

Supposedly the ribeye will have the most fat marbling compared to other steaks but it's tasty, flavorful and juicy and from what I understand. Regarding the bone-in, I've read that the bone allows the meat to be cooked more evenly and prevents the meat from drying out and shrinking while it's cooking. (From a butcher's POV, it's easier work for bone-in meats because they don't have to filet that.)

So if you're looking for a steak with a lot of flavor, go bone in. If you want easier work for your knife, go boneless.

I'd still stick with NY Strip for me. Not quite so much fat and cooks quicker compared to a ribeye though I think a ribeye would not be a bad 2nd choice....

Do you mean between the bone-in ribeye and the Prime Rib? Because if so, you also have to figure out how you'd rather it be prepared. They're both from the same part of the cow, so chances are the marbling is the same. The choice would be more how it's prepared. The bone-in ribeye, I'm assuming, is prepared much like a classic steak where it's sliced and cut before it's cooked. Whereas Prime Rib is prepared as the entire rib roast and then sliced when it's ordered. With that, I'm not a prime rib person at all. Though I'm really not a ribeye person at all, either, but it would be my option between the two.

But I'm totally a fillet girl, but I'll go with the NY Strip occasionally. I like leaner cuts wayyyy better.

It's my choice between these two on Yachtsmen menu..

I would be getting the bone-in rib (aka prime rib?). And I would be ordering it barely cooked, what they call "Pittsburgh rare" around here and "bleu" in France. Yum.

They call it Pittsburgh rare, Pittsburgh black, Blue & Blue, Chicago style. It's got many names. It have to have a black char on the outside and rare to raw on the inside. Usually a piece of steak 2 inches thick or more.

Thanks for educating a "Pittsburgh girl". I guess I never heard the name because I really don't eat steak (digestion issues) and don't go to steakhouses.

OH! Ok, boneless ribeye makes more sense. Sorry I wasn't comprehending everything for some reason.

But yep, I would still go with the ribeye. But I reeeally don't care for Prime Rib for some reason.

I'm with your DW, king. It's a fillet or nothing for me and only if it's very rare. I haven't had another cut of steak since I was little kid and my dad would do steaks on the grill.

Well, if it's your last trip as you say it is, then perhaps your DW is letting you go out with a bang in the form of letting you enjoy a $65 porterhouse steak.

The porterhouse seems like a fantastic choice. I wish I could afford to eat it.
