Loving the steaks at Livoti’s in Middletown. Think they use Chairman’s Reserve. Anyway, I usually only cook steak when dining alone since the BF does not eat chunks of red flesh (he’ll eat a burger any day). I have found Shop Rite lately to only sell enormous cuts which are too big for just one person. Livoti’s tends to have a nice variety of sizes, including cuts that are doable for one person and reasonably priced. I bought a four-pack of sirloin medallions yesterday. Ate two and froze two. Amazingly tender and bursting with flavor in my marinade of hoisin, oyster sauce, soy sauce, olive oil, dry vermouth, garlic, and gochugaru.

I had similar success a few weeks ago with a beautiful skirt steak that was just the right size for one person.

And it was about 8 ounces of meat, which for me is a good serving size. Unlike some here! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I just pulled this baby out of the freezer, he weighed in at 38.5 oz which is just the right serving size for me!!

If that’s the baby, I can’t wait to see the full size examples.

Oh man I wish I had taken a picture… this guy came from a 24lb rib section! Might be NSFW.

OMG! I don’t know if the guy was being a wise ass or what but I asked for a double cut and I got a triple cut!
I opened the out door kitchen (pandemic purchase) and decided to christen it with a prime porterhouse. (For 2 not 8 I wound up with lol)

A glass of wine and a cheap cigar to round off the occasion. (notice the bottle of stoli in the background like a scorned lover lol)

Porterhouse - chicken & beef burgers - corn on the cob - onion rings. Hello spring in the north east!

Regards my fellow ho’s

Thank you Eli!! I’m trying to become a wine snob but will most likely wind up a wine-o!! Anyway I’m trying to find the ones I like, this is certainly one.

Actually Prize Fighter a $ 2.69 special at my local Shop Rite. I bought one on a whim once and I was shocked at how much I enjoyed it. No more $ 20± Romeo & Juliette’s for me!!!

Mr Bean has gotten it into his head that he wants a Tomahawk steak. We’re not big steak eaters at home, probably because I am not very adept at cooking them well, but I got it into my head that I’d like to make one for Father’s Day.

So - any recommendations from all you steak maven’s on the best place to get one? I’d like to stay in southern/easternish Monmouth county if possible. Any suggestions sizing that will give the slab a nice presence but to be too overwhelming? We’ll be 3 eating dinner together.

Also, cooking suggestions would be appreciated.

Thx
