They got some cheap T-bone or porterhouse steak at ralphs on friday and saturday for 2.99/lb. Unsure of the grade, but it should be decent.

EDIT: Ad says USDA Select Calfornia Beef.

Select is yucky.

Select's not that bad, it's the third highest grade of beef.

Third out of three! I'd use select for stews or pot roasts, but I'd want choice for steak. Prime is rare at grocery stores. (hah, get it, rare??? steak???)

My general thoughs is that select has less marbling and therefore less fat, so less flavor. You can find some very nice select steaks if you look.

It's not third out of three, it's third out of eight. The grades are Prime, Choice, Select, Standard, Commercial, Utility, Cutter, and Canner. Select is just the lowest grade you normally find in a grocery store - it's still considered to be a relatively lean cut of beef.

Prime is used by expensive restaurants and Choice is commonly used by average-to-good restaurants. I'm guessing that there are plenty of restaurants out there that use Select steaks. And I don't even want to know what grade fast food joints use.

Interesting... I did not know that! Where does grade F meat fall in that list? It's mostly circus animals, some filler.

If you think an IHOP steak was good, try Outback.

My favorite steak is a good, thick, medium-well filet mignon.

A medium-well fillet mignon? You know that when this type of request comes in, Chefs have been known to grab the crappiest piece they have, since they figure they can just burn it anyway. In addition, if the rest of the table orders their steak rare to medium, you run the risk of having your steak thrown in the deep fat fryer in order to get it to your table on time. It's really difficult to impossible to cook a medium-well fillet mignon correctly since the cut is so thick.

WOOT i gave it about two minutes each side on a burning hot grill. It's resting now, it has great grill markings. Serving it with two slices of garlic olive oil french bread and peas/carrots.

edit: so good.

"angus" or "black angus" doesnt refer to any USDA inspection.

rib eye that should be eaten comes in 2 forms: prime and choice. prime = UBER expensive. choice = what i buy (and can afford). select should be best left for stewing meats.
