Dinner: Rack of Lamb, Steak, or Both?!

[Ns1]

So me and the wifey are having dinner at home for valentine's day. We were originally slated to have rack of lamb, but after sampling our roommate's monstrous porterhouse/filet from Maestro's, we're having second thoughts!

I will give OT a 49% vote in my decision making.


The details

Rack of Lamb: Some type of herb/mustard crust. Not 100% sure on the source. We've had good luck with Costco in the past. I tried to get some airmailed from turner new zealand, but it appears they no longer offer that service

MEAT: USDA prime

Porterhouse: Probably a 16-20oz to split. Probably find the one with the biggest filet part

RibEye: For me, the king of all steaks. Only problem is that I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack immediately following.

Filet: Probably the healthiest choice out of the bunch. However, we have absolutely no experience cooking it. We'd probably try to find a bone-in filet though, cuz goddamn that would be absolutely delicious.

Sides: Probably grilled asparagus, some sauteed mushrooms, maybe grilled zucchini as well. We might not even do carbs this year.

Wine: Suckas! It's ok to be jealous

lamb is more exotic looking

No need to mention USDA.. it doesn't really mean much really

Might as well say you are taking FDA approved Viagra

Anyway go for the porterhouse

Ribeye, any day of the week.

Filet would be my first choice with the Porterhouse a close second.

Unless it's cooked in a smoker for 8 hours

I dunno, I prefer Pork over Beef. Hell, I prefer Chicken over Beef. :shrug:

Nothing beats a good rack. I like to chop several cloves of garlic and stuff into the meat. spread with pesto and/or rosemary. (this helps with the extra-gamy lamb that is out there).

Next choice for me would be porterhouse: Rare to medium-rare.
hmmmm

Both are fine choices, but for more exotic, I would take the lamb.
