NY strip steak is overrated and boring.

My favs are ribeye, skirt, top sirloin, flat iron, chuck eye, hanger, and that one surprisingly tender part of top round.

Filet mignon is good but overpriced and overrated because what it has in tenderness it lacks in terms of flavor.

Right now it seems flank and skirt are most utility per dollar. Strip is hard to cook well with my setup (pan frying after dry brining). I love me boneless ribeye (only if the cap is sizeable) or tenderloin.

NY is best because it consistently has the perfect amount of marbling, and more importantly because I live in an apartment I can't grill so when making a ribeye or porterhouse in my cast iron, all the fat melts and the steaks pretty much boil in lard to be cooked and the taste follows suit.

Fair point on the melted fat categorization, and while "fat is flavor," is generally true, there is a limit to where it becomes overwhelming. That limit stands a few levels before cooking rib eye, and porterhouse steaks in a cast iron because they boil in melted fat

You do know that a T-bone is just a small porterhouse, right? It's the same steak, just cut from the tapered/small end of the loin.
And both of those have a "fillet mignon" in it. And wtf is pretentious about a tender, less flavourful steak? It's costly, sure, but at the end of the day, meat is fucking meat and no cut of it is "pretentious."

That's not what pretentious means.
And saying some cut of meat is "Fred Flintstone tier" to me would impy that it's large? Since... y'know... the scene with the big ass rack of ribs that makes the car lean over. I've heard numerous people refer to florentine and tomahawk steaks as "Fred Flintsone" steaks.
As said, T-bone is smaller than porterhouse so mentioning The Flintstones set up an easily misunderstood analogy. I'm still not quite sure wtf you were trying to get across with it. If you meant "bonehead" why not simply say that?

sous vide is only worth it if you're cooking for a large number of people, maybe 30 or more. for the home cook it's a waste of time, money, and counter space for little to no gain in quality and consistency.

grilling over hardwood is objectively the best way to cook a steak. you get a nicely browned exterior, subtle wood smoke flavor, and you can cook to your desired doneness by simply moving to indirect heat. easy peasy. only a retard could fuck it up.

>Definitely been true for me that it will retain more moisture when brined.

this a completely false and debunked claim. meathead took down brining years ago, and so have plenty of others. the difference in retained moisture is actually negligible, and if there is extra moisture, it's just water diluting flavor.

what actually happens with brine is all the extra salt and sugar cause your mouth to make extra saliva, creating the illusion of more moisture being in the meat. brining has plenty of purposes in the kitchen, but retaining moisture is not one of them.
