Use clarified butter. Higher smoking point = less smoking. Pic related.

Doe's Eat Place or Texas de Brazil are supposed to good in my town (Baton Rouge). I haven't tried them yet. Texas de Brazil sounds like a nightmare atmosphere wise.

I moved from New Orleans where Crescent City Steakhouse was my favorite. I like the way I cook steak vs the other available options here. All but one place are chain steakhouses, and I have never been pleased with the offerings of chain steakhouses.

The steakhouses I like are hard to find nowadays.

A steakhouse is supposed to be simple. My ideal steakhouse: I want to go by myself; no husband, no children. Just me. I don't want fancy shit,sauces, marinades, or elaborate side dishes. Just steak and a glass of good wine. A bread basket is acceptable on the table. If you really want them. If you have to have them; there are maybe three sides available to choose from ( à la carte) usually creamed spinach, baked potato, or a side salad with homemade dressing. Maybe a glass of good scotch at some point before or after the meal. I want a beautifully aged, grass fed (yes, I said it- and I meant it too), prime, rib eye with nice marbling. I want it on the rarer end of medium rare. Super rare and blue rare are good for filet mignon, I like rib eye steak.

depends on what kind of steak you want to make. I usually don't care for marinades on ribeyes, ny strips, or filets. Just seared in butter, salt, and pepper.

Tougher steaks, like flank, I will use a Jaccard and marinate in ponzu sauce or chimichurri.

What are you having for lunch today? I'm about to go grocery shopping and I need some inspiration.

I have no idea what this picture is.

Tried it today on m apartment for the first time (I normally cook em' on my father's grill on summers). It was fucking perfect.

I would do this.

I don't like sauces on steak, it is good without one making it all soggy. I would prefer a twice baked potato instead-easy on the garlic for when the moot smoochies begin. No one want's their dick to reek of garlic the next day. The broccolini sounds good. Drink a good wine, maybe a Malbec or something. I am not a fan of molten chocolate cake, it usually just tastes raw in the center. However, a brownie sundae (brownie with ice cream sundae fixin's)with homemade warm caramel drizzled over top.

what kind of steak?

go simple. pick out a decent looking ribeye (thick). brush it with clarified butter, sprinkle with salt and pepper all over, let it come to room temp.
turn your oven to 500F on bake and put an ovenproof skillet (iron skillet is perfect) in there while for fifteen minutes. Turn your stove on to high and get the large burner hot if you are using an electric stove. otherwise just turn the gas on to high. When the oven reaches 500F carefully take out the skillet and put it on the burner on the stove and sear both sides of the steak for 30 seconds each. Put it in the oven and cook it on each side for 2.30 minutes for medium rare. Take it out, let it rest a minute while you make the salad, you can cook the potatoes right before you make the steak and cover them up to keep the warm while the oven heats up from 350 to 500F to make the steak (s). when the steaks are done and resting put the potatoes back in the oven and turn it off, they will be hot when you are ready for them.

This is a good recipe.

You should bake it a little longer if it's extra thick.

I follow this. Comes out great.

Good steak doesn't need a sauce usually. Maybe finish it with butter. If you have to put a sauce on it make a chimichurri
