How does new york steak fare against top sirloin?

>>7594860
Top sirloin is really more like stew meat than a steak. NY strip is OK.
>>7594832
Rib eye is a safe bet: big flavor and very tender. If you have the dough for it dry aging intensifies the flavor and adds a bit of funk, but substantially increases the price.

Just get him a fat porterhouse and hope he knows how to cook it. It's two steaks in one.

>>7594977
He doesn't he'll throw it on the grill and let it get medium well

>>7594832
Prime grade ribeye or ny strip.

Make sure it's prime, none of that plebian Select or Choice grade garbage.

>>7594983
Please get him chicken instead.

>>7594832
Get him a son that knows how to cook a steak

>>7595039
Hahaha I usually do cause it's cheaper but it is his birthday

Which of these three?

>>7595045

those are all shit steaks. no marbling to speak of.

Let him cook his own fucking steak

Get the grill hot and hand him a beer instead

Stop watching anime, get a job, start talking to cute girls because you're a fucking male who wants a family instead of a beta who feels inferior to women.

Make him proud of his son.

>>7595050
I'll head to another store

>>7595052
Nothing says "I love you dad" like a shitty 5 dollar steak from a son you don't love

>>7594832
stop looking for the cheapest cut. a $5 steak is gonna be shit. buy THICK cut, buy good grade (Prime or Choice at least)

>>7595059
Should I head to a butcher?

>>7595060
yes. ask him to cut it for you on the spot. less than 1.75" and you are a faggot. 2" plus for a man

>>7595057
you know what else costs $5? a box of condoms

>>7595068
Good marbeling and 2" okay

>>7595073
don't even try to gauge the marbling yourself just buy Prime (if you can afford it). Choice if you're a fucking pleb. Don't even bother with select (aka dog food)

Left to right; new york, porterhouse and ribeye

Got a 2" for my father of ribeye and 1/2" of new york for everyone else

>>7595080
Choice cause I'm a pleb ;_;

OP go to a butcher, but if you can't afford it and only want supermarket crap get skirt steak. Can't really go wrong since it is pretty fatty.

Are you cooking it yourself?

What a useless picture. You want to see the end grain of the meat, not the side of it. But what I can see in that photo is not looking good.

>>7594832

Not the worst cut I've ever seen. What stands out to me other than the shitty marbeling is the dinky-ass spinalis or cap of the steak which is, in my opinion, the best part of the entire cow. Also, that huge piece of fat on that NY strip would have been trimmed by a respectable butcher.

You got cucked, my friend. Cucked hard.

What do you hardline steak enthusiasts think of my dinner? Paid £2.99 for the steak and it tasted great, 28 day matured and no idea what cut.

Bone in ribeye, 1 1/2 inch thick, preferably aged but not absolutely necessary. Cook it for him, and make it medium-rare. Just salt the outside right before cooking, and sprinkle with pepper while it rests before serving.

>>7595412
That looks like a boneless petite ribeye, maybe.

>>7595412
Hard to tell without a shot of the interior, but it looks alright. 4/10

>>7595267

If I remember there was a better one I found yesterday that I'll post in this thread after work.

Not that guy.

>>7594832
>Is there a tier rating?
Unless your talking about the marbling, nope, any cut can be as equally good as the next as long as it is done right to the consumers taste.

>>7595057

Lol'd

>>7595267
It's all yours, my friend. :^)

Baby cow, and a prime cut. Make sure you don't over cook it, you want some super tender meat juicy meat. It's somewhat expensive, but it's also a treat.
