Took my parents out last night for their birthdays.  Checked out a new restaurant in town.  Very nice. 

Petit Filet Mignon (8 ounces) was 33 clams, Grand (12 ounces) was 39.

How much do you pay for a good steak?

At my go-to place downtown it's $38 for a 12 oz. filet.  I usually get their NY Strip, though, also $38.

$20-35 depending on how ritzy the joint is.

I'm the poors. I buy mine at the butcher shop and cook it myself. :P

That's also the only way I get mine cooked right, i.e. seared but bloody.

I live in cattle country and also casino land. I can get a good steak for ten bucks. Maybe eight.

But honestly, I do what Meri does instead.

I'd love a nice restaurant steak.  :mmm:  Haven't had one in years...maybe a subpar one at a wedding though.

A very good quality steak at a place that doesn't have its head up its own arse around here is £17 to £20.

You can get a perfectly tasty one for less in a good pub though.

The last really good one I had here in NYC was 45 but that was 16oz ribeye, I believe.

Yeah, I dont think I can get the combination of the quality of beef I get at my butcher prepared exactly the way I want it anywhere other than my own kitchen.
