And yet filet mignon, off the bone, is about the most expensive beef cut. That seems strange if it's better on the bone, ya think?
Fresh truffles and fresh matsutake mushrooms cost far more than fresh porcini, too, but plenty of mushroom loving gourmets (including myself) will opine that neither the truffle nor the matsutake tastes better than fresh porcini.
As chopper noted above, ut's rarity or scarcity that sets the price, not flavor quality.
And mushrooms and steaks aren't the only examples of this...
Truffles are a tough comp in this convo because of the differing application of them, and what they add to a dish. Meaning, substituting porcinis for white truffles on a pasta dish is not in the same sport let alone ball park. But you made your point. Mushrooms are a very tough analogy though because of the varied flavors and textures.
Bill, I am not dropping my resume here....at all. But I have worked some very good places and with chefs that are infatuated with food. The very best place I worked at, the Chef did things how you would do them at home....only better. His porterhouse for two was on the bone and sliced similarly.
I think Filet Mignon sucks. Its baby food for me. A person who order a filet medium is the same person who orders chicken lo mein at a high end asian place or veal parm at Il Mulino. The ONLY way I can eat that piece of beef is if I cut it off the bone of a porterhouse. It acts as a great change of pace from the better flavored but tougher sirloin.
Btw, you havent remarked on how exquisitely evenly cooked on both sides my steak was. 😉
My bad. That steak was gorgeous, Chopper.
Again, it's not whether filet is a better tasting steak than any other, it's just whether filet itself tastes better cooked on the bone or off the bone. It seems like you're agreeing with off the bone. I happen to be a big sauce fan, filet is a great canvas for that. I also love filet from the sous vide, I can get the temp perfect. I haven't been happy with my results with fatty cuts from the sous vide. I'd much rather grill a ribeye on NY strip on the bone

Ahhhhhh thank you but I was just breaking your chops (no pun). The reason I was pointing it out though was for the reason you submitted: its quite difficult to cook both sides to same temp when attached to the same bone. Hence my desire for acknowledgemnt (I really didnt need it....was just being a doosh.
But you have it backwards. I prefer the filet cooked on the bone.
However, like you, I also enjoy sauce. A filet in wonderful bernaise, beurre rouge, foie butter or in a Wellington takes me longer to eat than a 24 oz porterhouse because I need to savor the differing flavors. A chateaubriand finished with crispy shallots and fresh bitter greens...you cant go wrong with that for a dinner for a large gathering.
Montana, I've really gotten into Mexican the past 6 months or so. Made my first carne asade about a week ago. I had several recipes and went with the one with the most citrusy marinade. But in looking around since, I see carne asade just means grilled meat and many of the recipes have no marinade at all. I'm also coming to believe that the flavors you add at the end may be more important to the taste than what you marinate in. So even with the big marinade I used, I made tacos that included a green chile/avacado guac and refried beans. Going forward, I'm going to look for things to baste with on the grill and to make as accompaniments and just grill the meat plain. I'll try to remember to post how that goes when I do it.
Yeah, my marinade has Orange and Lime juice in it. I have tweaked it down a bit though because it overpowered the meat. I also add Sazon Goya packets to it (2 packets per 2 lbs) and that really took it over the top. This is the marinade I use but I cut the citrus part by 1/4:
1/4 cup lime juice (from 2-3 limes)
1/4 cup orange juice (no pulp)
1/4 cup soy sauce (regular, not low-sodium)*
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 cup chopped cilantro plus more to serve
7 garlic cloves finely chopped
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt
That is for 2 bs of skirt steak. Also, I only marinade it for 5 hours and that seems to work perfect

Ive never done carne asada. Will be demoing this. Might use flank instead of skirt though just because I want to make more of it, flank is easier to find in markets and actually like flank steak.
I'm doing your Char Siu tomorrow, looking forward to it
Let me know how the Char Siu goes- if it's crap I'll have to go into hiding.
I grew up thinking Mexican was hard tacos and ground beef. I've come a long way lately, but there still so much to experiment with. Not enough days in the week to do everything I want to. I cut up a duck today to do three ways tomorrow- pan search breast with apricoty/plum sauce, confit the leg sections, and cracklin from the skin. The confit goes about 12 hours. I'd better get to sleep :)

Those crunchy ground beef things are called FREEDOM TACOS! Lol. And I had a Chef do duck 3 ways (seared breast, confit, seared foie as a starter) and he called it "The Study of Duck"....good stuff all. We should get together, give 18E a break and do a high class tailgate with Blue_L.....errrr BelieveJJ.

Thanks montana.
My pleasure Chop. A suggestion if you go the 5-6 hour marinade. Score the Flank in a diamond pattern to let the marinade penetrate
Temp do you cook the beef? Im assuming you use it for tacos or burritos...I would guess no cooler than medium?
Skirt and Flank cook quickly. I reverse sear it so I do 300 degrees each side for 6 mins each then pump it up to at least 500 for a 2 min sear each side

If JJ is really BL, which I had no idea of, I certainly have the highest respect for his culinary opinions. I actually consider him and Drew to be among my mentors here. Still making some of his dishes. Hey, BL, if you're out there.

It's funny. I get a lot of my recipes off TV cooking shows. I also plan my menus into my calendar, often a couple of weeks ahead. So I was planning seared duck/skin on, dry-rubbed and confit, which I'll freeze, for today. Yesterday I watched Jacques Pepin and coincidentally, he did duck. I changed over to how he did it with removing the breast skin and turning it into cracklins. He also did a mousse, but the amount of liver in the duck I have was too small, so I passed on that. I also saw a Mexican show yesterday where they did carne asada- a combination of skirt and rolled chuck(?), no marinade.
I had leftover Mexican from this great take out place called chanos Latin kitchen. Place is top notch. I don’t usually cook Saturday's. Today I’m making chicken cutlets in a creamy sun dried tomato sauce. Pretty easy and quite good.

Food threads are great, and even better when dudes citing awesome take out joints mention an address or township.
A real Sherlock Holmes, you are. But, I can't be BlueLou. If I were him, how could I possibly remain silent about recent events at the Capitol?
No, BlueLou would have been all over that, he couldn't help himself...
I have copied a lot of his recipes down, though, so if you ever need them...
You do realize folks like me lurk here without joining, sometimes for years, and not all of them introduce themselves on that stickied thread.
As for Drew, you just can't trust what will come out of his mouth after he's hit up the barrel proof stash.
With him, I'm more trusting about whats going INTO his mouth than out of it.
BTW, how in hell did you misinterpret what Chopper was saying about the porterhouse?
Millions of guests at Peter Luger's over the decades agree with him, and me about steak grilled on the bone.
Hope all is well with you. Enjoy today's games.
Blue Lou would never rag on Drew, so it can't be you. My bad :) I guess he's gone (teardrops falling). In his memory, please feel free to post any of those recipes you've borrowed from him
Here Sport, it took me all of 4 secs to lookup Chanos Latin Cuisine located at 719 Hamburg Turnpike, Pompton Lakes, NJ Google is your friend - ( New Window )

If he admitted to being Blue Lou he wpuld immediately be banned based on how he went out....scorched Earth thread calling out the owner. Not unlike Joey's.

Let me know how the Char Siu goes- if it's crap I'll have to go into hiding.
I grew up thinking Mexican was hard tacos and ground beef. I've come a long way lately, but there still so much to experiment with. Not enough days in the week to do everything I want to. I cut up a duck today to do three ways tomorrow- pan search breast with apricoty/plum sauce, confit the leg sections, and cracklin from the skin. The confit goes about 12 hours. I'd better get to sleep :)
Those crunchy ground beef things are called FREEDOM TACOS! Lol. And I had a Chef do duck 3 ways (seared breast, confit, seared foie as a starter) and he called it "The Study of Duck"....good stuff all. We should get together, give 18E a break and do a high class tailgate with Blue_L.....errrr BelieveJJ.

Been marinating skirt steak for 16 hours...YUM!
Montana, I've really gotten into Mexican the past 6 months or so. Made my first carne asade about a week ago. I had several recipes and went with the one with the most citrusy marinade. But in looking around since, I see carne asade just means grilled meat and many of the recipes have no marinade at all. I'm also coming to believe that the flavors you add at the end may be more important to the taste than what you marinate in. So even with the big marinade I used, I made tacos that included a green chile/avacado guac and refried beans. Going forward, I'm going to look for things to baste with on the grill and to make as accompaniments and just grill the meat plain. I'll try to remember to post how that goes when I do it.
Yeah, my marinade has Orange and Lime juice in it. I have tweaked it down a bit though because it overpowered the meat. I also add Sazon Goya packets to it (2 packets per 2 lbs) and that really took it over the top. This is the marinade I use but I cut the citrus part by 1/4:
1/4 cup lime juice (from 2-3 limes)
1/4 cup orange juice (no pulp)
1/4 cup soy sauce (regular, not low-sodium)*
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 cup chopped cilantro plus more to serve
7 garlic cloves finely chopped
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt
That is for 2 bs of skirt steak. Also, I only marinade it for 5 hours and that seems to work perfect
Ive never done carne asada. Will be demoing this. Might use flank instead of skirt though just because I want to make more of it, flank is easier to find in markets and actually like flank steak.
Thanks montana.
My pleasure Chop. A suggestion if you go the 5-6 hour marinade. Score the Flank in a diamond pattern to let the marinade penetrate
Skirt and Flank cook quickly. I reverse sear it so I do 300 degrees each side for 6 mins each then pump it up to at least 500 for a 2 min sear each side
That's what my ... Eh you know the rest.

If JJ is really BL, which I had no idea of, I certainly have the highest respect for his culinary opinions. I actually consider him and Drew to be among my mentors here. Still making some of his dishes. Hey, BL, if you're out there.

It's funny. I get a lot of my recipes off TV cooking shows. I also plan my menus into my calendar, often a couple of weeks ahead. So I was planning seared duck/skin on, dry-rubbed and confit, which I'll freeze, for today. Yesterday I watched Jacques Pepin and coincidentally, he did duck. I changed over to how he did it with removing the breast skin and turning it into cracklins. He also did a mousse, but the amount of liver in the duck I have was too small, so I passed on that. I also saw a Mexican show yesterday where they did carne asada- a combination of skirt and rolled chuck(?), no marinade.
No, BlueLou would have been all over that, he couldn't help himself...
I have copied a lot of his recipes down, though, so if you ever need them...
You do realize folks like me lurk here without joining, sometimes for years, and not all of them introduce themselves on that stickied thread.
As for Drew, you just can't trust what will come out of his mouth after he's hit up the barrel proof stash.
With him, I'm more trusting about whats going INTO his mouth than out of it.
BTW, how in hell did you misinterpret what Chopper was saying about the porterhouse?
Millions of guests at Peter Luger's over the decades agree with him, and me about steak grilled on the bone.
Hope all is well with you. Enjoy today's games.
Food threads are great, and even better when dudes citing awesome take out joints mention an address or township.

Blue Lou would never rag on Drew, so it can't be you. My bad :) I guess he's gone (teardrops falling). In his memory, please feel free to post any of those recipes you've borrowed from him

If he admitted to being Blue Lou he wpuld immediately be banned based on how he went out....scorched Earth thread calling out the owner. Not unlike Joey's.

I didn't see the BL thread you're referring to, but I did see Joey's.

I had leftover Mexican from this great take out place called chanos Latin kitchen. Place is top notch. I don’t usually cook Saturday's. Today I’m making chicken cutlets in a creamy sun dried tomato sauce. Pretty easy and quite good.
