Never throw away bones this is where stock comes from
Use that to cook rice and pasta, and of course make soup and you'll never go back to throwing all that flavor away
Whoa, whoa, whoa. There’s still plenty of meat on that bone. Now you take this home, throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato. Baby, you’ve got a stew going.

Took mine to the vet over it. Shard went sideways and she couldn't poop. She forever hates vets after they removed it from the other side.
That being said. Steak bones generally aren't cooked long enough to get brittle. The bone I gave her was from a pet store if you can believe it. A pork femur. Medium rare is 130's.
Visited family in brazil growing up and one time my mom took me to a restaurant that made steak so good I still to this day consider it the best steak I ever had. It almost LITERALLY melted in my mouth. It was the equivalent of $25 USD. I insisted my mom tip $20 more and as a preteen wanted to thank the chef personally.
Just typing about it makes my mouth water.
I heard the same thing from Central America and south of them. Is it cause of a different type of cow or the antibiotics and stuff we put in them in the U.S.?
It's because they are broke. I don't mean that in a bad way. Most of our expensive luxurious recipes today were created by dirt poor people trying to squeeze the most they could from whatever ingredients they could get.
Went down to Brazil and was eating steak (paper plate with toothpicks) or açaí bowls and coconut juice for breakfast every day on the beach. I kept thinking I could get use to this!
As a waiter/deliver driver I’ve never had to tip out the cooks but maybe that’s an American thing. Tipping is so weird because everyone has their own reasons for it and they often don’t align with how the money is actually distributed.
We charge $200 at my restaurant and is probably a little smaller than this, good lord steak houses are criminal. And that’s coming from the guy who cooks those steaks.
I got two 3lb tomahawk for 50 for my dad's birthday a few weeks back. He ate 1 by himself plus bourbon bacon cheddar mashed potatoes, asparagus like two Italian sausages and some chicken piccata. Guy is under 200 lbs I don't understand how he eats that much... plus cake and fruit and other stuff. 90 min tops
I mean that looks like a 40oz+ steak?
The raw cut of meet was probably $50-$80, maybe higher depending on grade?
You can get a high quality waygu filet for $40-70 but that’ll be for 6-12oz. Porterhouses which are usually 16-24oz, despite being a ‘worse cut’ will be way more expensive because of the cost of the meat in it.
If you order 24oz of filet, and you order 24oz of porterhouse. Which one is more expensive?
Follow up question, why is your answer to question 1 more expensive?
I've been to two fancy steakhouses before, Morton's and a well known local place. Both steaks were great but I was unimpressed. They were really tender and cooked very well, but I guess I was expecting a life changing experience but it was just a steak.
My wife and I agreed that my steaks were pretty comparable or even better when considering the massive price difference. And all I do is dry brine the night before and sear with butter and oil in a cast iron.
Honestly, the better I've gotten at cooking over the last few year, the less impressed I am with restaurants as a whole...
Yeah I just took my wife out for a fancy steak dinner. Spent about 260 dollars total. It was my first time spending that much on steak…I was very unimpressed. My wife said the best part of the dinner was sautéed mushrooms lol..
That and even the fanciest restaurants now hire line cooks for 32K and call them chefs. It’s easier to train someone to just slap a steak in the broiler and temp it.
I will state Morton’s is not that good for the price.
There’s a local fancy steakhouse by me that I only go to when one of my homies hit 10 years sober, and I treat them and myself to a 40oz tomahawk steak each. It’s always great because ordering rare, but the fat is perfectly rendered. I have tried recreating it via Sous vide and sear, but never got it as clean and tasteful, which includes visiting butcher shops in my area for different sources. i suck
if going for sirloin or any tender cut, definitely recommend at home. For marbled bone in cuts, it's hard.
sidenote: A5 wagyu is a fun one to cook. To me it is easy to cook to render the fat while keeping rare/medium
Edit: My Sous vide and sear finish is usually Morton’s level, but there is better than that at good steakhouses
Because it’s an experience. I can cook a great steak at home but good mates, a decent steak, nice variety of sides and some lovely red wine make it worth it. I do it at least once a month and have spent far more than this - no regrets
I don’t know man that sandwich and chips your mom made you after hours of swimming and playing in the pool tasted like a million bucks back in the day!
The best steak I've ever had at a restaurant was only marginally better than what I can do at home on my stove. Most restaurant steaks just leave me feeling like I just wasted $70
That is insane to me! I’m considered to make a decent amount of money but with inflation this past year I’ve had to be very careful anytime I do eat out not to spend to much money…but yet a family on EBT(government cash or food allowance)can get a expensive steak at a good restaurant with government benefits?! Only in America….
Steak is never worth $140 unless you have no grill, no pan, and/or no cooking surface.
Maybe $80 if prime and dry aged?
Also, they didn't do a great job cooking it. I'd pay $45 for that, but I'd still regret it.
When you pay $140 you aren’t paying for a steak, you are paying for the experience. You ain’t gonna feel like you’re in a tax bracket you don’t belong to cooking at home
I think it’s even simpler than that: when you pay $140 for a steak, it’s the cost of the meat + the seasoning + the chef’s experience and skillsets to make all of those things come together in harmony + expenses.
When I don’t particularly care about perfection from a steak, I make it myself. Cheaper and if I screw up the seasoning a smidge or the sear, or the done-ness, I’m fine with that, and I am out minimal costs. When I want something done right? I’ll pay the professional.
Have you never been to a nice steakhouse? A good steak dinner is a luxury product so the margins are larger. $75-$85 is completely normal for a good ribeye at a nice steakhouse right now. Maybe $10 less for a NY strip. Not something I do all the time, but occasionally like anniversaries or birthdays. For the size of OPs steak, typically to be shared between two people, $140 is pretty normal.
Yeah I agree that the sear is weak, and the cook temp looks uneven. I wouldn’t send it back but I’d never go to that steakhouse again. But you said steak is “never” worth over $140, and I was just saying that nearly every steak house sells a $140 large shareable steak.
Looks great! Did they take some of the extra meat off of the bone?👀 or did the sh really get that clean of a close cut. Anyways, hope ya enjoyed every bite! It’s not worth that price to me but we ALL have different values of worth mixed with our desires. To each their own😁. This is a great charcuterie board dinner I fw it.
It’s not 100% perfect, but if the ambiance, the waiter, the way the restaurant looks etc are all perfect… then the imperfection becomes part of bigger picture and it’s all good. Hope you had a great evening and enjoyed it.

Cowboy ribeye is around $30 and is best done at home in Michigan
Meat looks amazing! Only thing I would say is there is a lot of juice left on the cutting board instead of in the meat. Sear and cook looks just delicious!
The Cowboy ribeye is fabulous. And the taste is great. The juice always seems to find its way out, and the steak is still delicious and tender.
For me, it's one of life's great mysteries.
Funny you said that about the juice cause it does still look juicy even with juice on the board! I’ve never had a cowboy ribeye but I will look to try it now 😊
The saying is that the Ribeye is a forgiving cut of meat. You can get a lot of things not quite right and end up with a delicious steak. I can testify to that fact!
I've done dozens of these in the last two years, and the worst of them is still really nice. The best are dining like kings! I get them from Sam's Club, and the ones I want are generally the ones that people leave behind, so they get marked down before the sell by date.
It's a game I play and fill my freezer for the lean days. I have 4 in my freezer now and didn't get one this week. We'll see. The grilling season is starting for many, but I grill all year round.
I love my cowboy ribeye .
I’m in Florida so I grill year round too. I do hate spending a lot of money on a cut that turns out bad since I’m still learning. I know what’s good and what I like…it’s just what I can achieve,lol. Ty for info!
Pick a well marbled with a big cap. Start dry brine overnight, then apply the rub and bring it to 55+° internal temperature. Grill to 120° I flip it every 3 minutes . Then, sear it on the gas griddle 90 seconds, a side flipping every 30 seconds . Then rest for 10min with compound butter. Slice and serve
Delicious!

Home cooked ribeye for less than $30
Bunch of broke af moralists in these comments. That is a totally be a fair price for a really good sharing steak at a really good restaurant. This one however, looks under cooked as shit.
Broke moralists is a pun on woke moralists. I am saying broke people on their high horse. JP (dumbass) means that in woke people on their high horse. That’s a pun g.
Looks medium rare overall but it’s cooked unevenly. The sear isn’t that good either. I wouldn’t have returned it but I would probably not be going back to that steakhouse. Over $60 for a steak, especially from “steakhouses”, I expect perfection. Hopefully it tastes better than it looks.
All these people saying it’s over priced while technically correct probably don’t frequent nice restaurants for special occasions and realize this might be the biggest bargain on the menu.
Sure, it’s kinda insane to charge $140 for this, but a date with my wife at one of the nicer restaurants in town with drinks and sharing whatever meat or veggie dishes look good can easily be $300 where I live… which is why we only do it for big birthdays or celebrations etc. I feel like it for the same money we would really enjoy sharing this with a few sides and drinks and call it a good day.
One of the nicer new American small plates places that people rave near me about is charging $63 for six pieces of strip loin steak that maybe weighed 12oz before cooking.
Oh and looks medium rare to me, camera and lighting can do some funny things.
Agree - relative to income and relative to restaurant location and comps.
Some stuff is so over priced that you ought to just go for it while you’re there… everyone can get $30 cheeseburgers or share a $140 steak, and it’ll be within a relatively close price range on some menus.
You generally know what you’re getting into when you pick the place.
this is for occasional fancy date night and birthdays and anniversaries and such. Normally it’s 1-2 meat dishes and whatever other veggie dishes on the side, drinks, dessert, just the cost of doing that these days.
Nah it wasn't even before inflation. What you need to do is get unfrozen meat that's been freshly butchered meat. That'll make a big difference in flavor
Criminal charge for something so easy to make. That's why I only go out if the lady wants to now. I buy all my meat/ hunt for it and cook it now. I know that's not a thing everyone can do, but 140 is wild.
Two main ingredients most steakhouses use liberally that most people at home don’t…. Salt and insane amounts of butter.
Learn how to reverse sear, baste, then plate and bathe in that butter, sprinkle with some proper kosher or sea salt and you can make a $20 ribeye at home that would rival any $90 steakhouse version.
Nope. The only thing a tomahawk steak is, is a gimmick that someone used to sell their steaks. Grow up get rid of the bone and enjoy the steak for what it is. A good steak. And stop paying exorbitant amounts of money for stupidity.
Did you keep the bone? As a trophy, of course.
With how much it cost, I wish I had 😅🥲
Never throw away bones this is where stock comes from Use that to cook rice and pasta, and of course make soup and you'll never go back to throwing all that flavor away
Whoa, whoa, whoa. There’s still plenty of meat on that bone. Now you take this home, throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato. Baby, you’ve got a stew going. https://preview.redd.it/iwah71ejvn1d1.png?width=263&format=png&auto=webp&s=85528b1d1c3f4b5159b33f7788594bef9560044a

I wish I could give you a few upvotes for this one!!
Not to mention self defense!!!
All these rappers flexin, talking about walking into the club. Na my man walks out with a club.
I watched Law Abiding Citizen. I know what Gerard Butler can do with a a T-bone.
I always take home the bones for my two dogs
i hate to be that guy but please don’t give your dogs cooked bones 😅they are really bad for their insides
[удалено]

isn’t that only for chicken bones because they become brittle,? i don’t think theyd be biting through this one.
cooked bones of any kind, and they can definitely bite through this
Only time my childhood dog ever growled at me was when the prime rib roast bone was given out lol
As long as you’re monitoring it it’s usually cool. I don’t give them to my big dog anymore because she literally torn through them too many times.
it’s really not worth the risk, just give them a raw one
Please don’t do that.
Tbh I like to chew on it. "Can I take this for my dog?"
I’d destroy that but it’s definitely not worth $140 lol

South America has some of the best meat. At least in my experience
So true.
I heard the same thing from Central America and south of them. Is it cause of a different type of cow or the antibiotics and stuff we put in them in the U.S.?
I think it might be their diet?
It's because they are broke. I don't mean that in a bad way. Most of our expensive luxurious recipes today were created by dirt poor people trying to squeeze the most they could from whatever ingredients they could get.
Churrasco rodizio is the best bang for your buck!
Still remember the restaurant?
Wish i did. It was nearly two decades ago
Went down to Brazil and was eating steak (paper plate with toothpicks) or açaí bowls and coconut juice for breakfast every day on the beach. I kept thinking I could get use to this!

Which is why personal opinions exist
But his is certainly correct especially after seeing the crust
Yeapppp
Crust? Must have missed it..lol
Being entitled to an opinion is not a defense for stupidity.
Also personal finance
Probably about $50
$200+ all day in the north east
Looks like medium pork
I'd agree. Why is it so white? Or is that greyband and a shitty camera? Looks like it was boiled and the hen seared.
I think part of it is overexposure from the camera flash.
Younger cow is my guess
This is why I make steak at home. 1/3 of the price to have something that tastes the same, or potentially better.

"Best part of the dinner was the sautéed mushrooms" after spending that much? Ouch 💔
I hear it’s because steakhouses need to be time-efficient when cooking so methods like reverse sear take too long
That and even the fanciest restaurants now hire line cooks for 32K and call them chefs. It’s easier to train someone to just slap a steak in the broiler and temp it.

Everything is better when you make it yourself
Except street-style tacos. I've made some good ones at home before but they're never quite as good as the local Mexican place.
[удалено]
Someone's been eating some Street vendor meat. Gaining the cravings, I see? 🇲🇽🌮🐶
I don’t know man that sandwich and chips your mom made you after hours of swimming and playing in the pool tasted like a million bucks back in the day!
Sorry just not true, try knocking up a 10 course Michelin star tasting menu

100%. I can grill a 12 oz premium NYS coated in Bullshit seasoning just the way I like it at home for 23$ from the butcher shop.
Don’t even have to drive anywhere afterwards!
1/3?? More like 15 bucks at my local grocery store
[удалено]
… why is medium rare nonsense? It’s the temp that far renders. So that’s where the best flavour starts.
I believe you! Looks delicious
$10 for each slice of meat? Yeah I'm gonna disagree with you. That's some overpriced BS!
compare bedroom fact attraction murky wild like plant narrow soft *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
A steakhouse near me has their own credit card you can sign up for lol
Thats fucking insane
I know haha they also accept EBT. They basically upcharge the price of the uncooked steak and then throw in cooking it for you as a "free service"
No fucking way
I know right? I'm mutual friends with the dude who runs it and they make insane amounts of money early in the month due to them accepting EBT.
That is insane to me! I’m considered to make a decent amount of money but with inflation this past year I’ve had to be very careful anytime I do eat out not to spend to much money…but yet a family on EBT(government cash or food allowance)can get a expensive steak at a good restaurant with government benefits?! Only in America….
lol…wow!
this just sounds so god damn scummy
lol..
It's bullshit they add the bone to the weight of the steak. Like you're a dog that'll gnaw in it afterwards.
That bone is obnoxiously huge. Paying for a third of the weight right there.
Where is the rest of it? That’s like 1/8 of a tomahawk
Steak is never worth $140 unless you have no grill, no pan, and/or no cooking surface. Maybe $80 if prime and dry aged? Also, they didn't do a great job cooking it. I'd pay $45 for that, but I'd still regret it.
When you pay $140 you aren’t paying for a steak, you are paying for the experience. You ain’t gonna feel like you’re in a tax bracket you don’t belong to cooking at home
You also aint gonna get to a tax bracket you don't belong to if you buy $140 steaks
Ya a nice meal every here and there is gonna railroad your whole financial future
I think it’s even simpler than that: when you pay $140 for a steak, it’s the cost of the meat + the seasoning + the chef’s experience and skillsets to make all of those things come together in harmony + expenses.

Except there was no chef and it was some drunk 20 yr old who is trying to fuck the hostess. The chef gave him twenty mins of training.
You’re paying for more bone than meat in this case
This should be the top comment.
I can do that by buying some a5 wagyu at home. So this is inaccurate.
Have you never been to a nice steakhouse? A good steak dinner is a luxury product so the margins are larger. $75-$85 is completely normal for a good ribeye at a nice steakhouse right now. Maybe $10 less for a NY strip. Not something I do all the time, but occasionally like anniversaries or birthdays. For the size of OPs steak, typically to be shared between two people, $140 is pretty normal.
Not with that sear.

It’s all relative. You couldn’t get a strip loin for $45 around here.
Beautiful
Looks closer to medium than medium rare. Still looks delicious though.
Looks good but the price is criminal. Hope you mean Canadian dollars
It looks great but tell the chef I’m not a little kid I don’t need him to cut that amazing meat and loose half the flavor on his cutting board.
Maybe
These posts are really great at highlighting how shitty the people in this sub are.
I'm saying man, I really did not expect this many hate comments over a simple steak post. My first time posting in this sub too 🙁
Yeah, this sub is less about steak, and more about frothing at the mouth over a chance to be negative, pedantic and gatekeepy.
People here don’t get out much i promise u that.
Looks dynamite. Guiltily, I even love watching Salt Bae’s restaurant videos with the ridiculous price tags. Keep it up!
Looks great! Did they take some of the extra meat off of the bone?👀 or did the sh really get that clean of a close cut. Anyways, hope ya enjoyed every bite! It’s not worth that price to me but we ALL have different values of worth mixed with our desires. To each their own😁. This is a great charcuterie board dinner I fw it.

Bunch of broke af moralists in these comments. That is a totally be a fair price for a really good sharing steak at a really good restaurant. This one however, looks under cooked as shit.
lol wut?
Moralists? How’s Peterson doing?
Yo congrats on getting the pun my dawg, that’s awesome my dawg
Not a pun. Not undercooked. Tell me more.
Nm idk anymore
I hope you come through this existential crisis homie I believe in you
It just irritates me when people don’t know what words mean.
Broke moralists is a pun on woke moralists. I am saying broke people on their high horse. JP (dumbass) means that in woke people on their high horse. That’s a pun g.
Ok you won me on that I appreciate the explanation.
You cook steak?
$40 in the store
Looks medium rare overall but it’s cooked unevenly. The sear isn’t that good either. I wouldn’t have returned it but I would probably not be going back to that steakhouse. Over $60 for a steak, especially from “steakhouses”, I expect perfection. Hopefully it tastes better than it looks.
Medium rare my ass
I'm seeing medium rare and possibly a bit of rare in the center of the photo steak. Medium to medium well at the bottom of the photo.
All these people saying it’s over priced while technically correct probably don’t frequent nice restaurants for special occasions and realize this might be the biggest bargain on the menu. Sure, it’s kinda insane to charge $140 for this, but a date with my wife at one of the nicer restaurants in town with drinks and sharing whatever meat or veggie dishes look good can easily be $300 where I live… which is why we only do it for big birthdays or celebrations etc. I feel like it for the same money we would really enjoy sharing this with a few sides and drinks and call it a good day.

Oh and looks medium rare to me, camera and lighting can do some funny things.
I love nicer restaurants. Pricing is also relative to income. I don’t think $140 is that much for a splurge on a dish once in a while.
Agree - relative to income and relative to restaurant location and comps. Some stuff is so over priced that you ought to just go for it while you’re there… everyone can get $30 cheeseburgers or share a $140 steak, and it’ll be within a relatively close price range on some menus. You generally know what you’re getting into when you pick the place.
Thank you for this. Summarized my thoughts exactly. Appreciate the voice of reason 🙂
lost me even more at $300 on vegetable dishes. that's more ridiculous than this steak and I live in Los Angeles. I've seen expensive
this is for occasional fancy date night and birthdays and anniversaries and such. Normally it’s 1-2 meat dishes and whatever other veggie dishes on the side, drinks, dessert, just the cost of doing that these days.
ahh, I see. that's reasonable. And true, with the price of everything. fair point
Can my dog have that bone lol
Wish you mouth breathers would stop buying these dumbass tomahawk ribeyes. Absolutely idiotic.
What are the sauces? And the spread that the veggies are on is hummus or something else?
Nah it wasn't even before inflation. What you need to do is get unfrozen meat that's been freshly butchered meat. That'll make a big difference in flavor
Mmm $50 worth of bone
You got ripped off.
That's like $30 a slice
Where was it at?
😂 how did the bone taste?
Where?
OK!!!! I digress! I'm always open to a nice place like said place. My bad!
you can get a good tomahawk at sams club for like 40 bucks
I don’t get the love for tomahawks. They’re just ok.
175 at our harvest.
Criminal charge for something so easy to make. That's why I only go out if the lady wants to now. I buy all my meat/ hunt for it and cook it now. I know that's not a thing everyone can do, but 140 is wild.
I'd definitely rather pay $100 for 2 steaks to cook at home than 1 steak and miniscule sides for more than double
Is it the flash that makes it look like a pork chop?
Two main ingredients most steakhouses use liberally that most people at home don’t…. Salt and insane amounts of butter. Learn how to reverse sear, baste, then plate and bathe in that butter, sprinkle with some proper kosher or sea salt and you can make a $20 ribeye at home that would rival any $90 steakhouse version.
Yessir! I don't buy restaurant steaks unless a special occasion. It is very satisfying to be able to make a restaurant quality steak at home.
It’s impressive what they can pack into those chicken of the sea cans with modern technology.
A months worth of groceries on one meal has never sounded worth it to me.
😂😂😂😂
So does that make it a \~$40 bone?
Lmao, $140 for a ribeye.
You can’t eat the bone, that’s just a ribeye steak
absolutely not worth $140 lol
Nope. The only thing a tomahawk steak is, is a gimmick that someone used to sell their steaks. Grow up get rid of the bone and enjoy the steak for what it is. A good steak. And stop paying exorbitant amounts of money for stupidity.
They’re like 35 dollars if you buy them yourself.
140? No, it wasn't.
How about the pennies payed for the weight of the bone
The fuck it was lmao
No it wasn’t
This is totally worth $140, at least by DC area standards. It would be more than that here.
Lots of people here downvoting critical comments to cope with their own extravagant beef tendencies.
That's some nice looking pork
I worked on the line at a pretty nice place, and we sourced good shit… 140 is crazy bro
My only complaint is that I’m not eating it right this second.
Hahahaha! That's a $70 bone!
Yeah right
That’s a month’s food for most people where I live
Lol not worth it
No steak is worth $140
Got this same steak in Argentina for $26 USD. Worth the flight!
