usually i just do a little salt & pepper and patrick likes montreal seasoning lol i should leave them on the counter for an hour so they get to room temp and throw them on medium heat? they're pretty thick.
if you are going to throw it in a pan make sure it is a hot one(i would say medium high but depends on your stove, drop one drop of water in the pan to see if it is hot enough). sear well and turn down the heat if you like it cooked better/or pop the pan in the stove to let them finish there..if patrick is a real man you won't need to do this. Let them sit for a good 5 to 10 minutes before you eat them, if you cut them right away they won't be as good.
use oil
kosher salt and fresh ground pepper is enough for me.
that being said i really am going to eat steak tartare tonight, i really hope i don't die.
dude we have a gigantic gas grill. and yea patrick actually gets my steaks perfect every time. he knows how i like it

I've seen people order lower than medium at Chili's before
I agree with the quality of meat, I'm sure it's not the same but I'm sticking with my "people's bodies react differently" statement because it's true. I can't eat less than a medium I KNOW I'll get sick regardless of quality
Steak tartare is so good though, omg.

I had Fogo de Chao a couple weeks ago. I've been several times and I have honestly been a little disappointed in their beef choices lately. The filet cuts have been great, but the other beef dishes have been mediocre. Oversalted and lacking in actual beef flavor. I can understand oversalting dishes at an AYCE joint since they want you to fill up on liquids. But the flavoring has been mediocre.
Love their lamb though!

my suggestion for cooking filet: yes, definitely make sure they're aged a couple days and they're at room temperature before you start to cook them. get the grill going and let it set to medium heat. just before you're ready to grill your steaks, sear those mofos in a cast iron grill over extremely high heat for about 1 minute on each side. this locks in the juicy goodness. then take them out to the grill and cook them about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium rare.

Oh man, their top sirloin is usually incredible. The key is actually the apple salad - a little sweet between the savory, and you can go a few more rounds.
seriously. they are thawed in the fridge...we just bought them on tuesday @ costco and they went right in the freezer and now they're just cold in the fridge.
