Like many respondents, my personal favorite steak is a rib eye, around 1½” thick, and preferably dry aged. That said, a good quality porterhouse, T bone, or NY strip is always a welcome diversion.

For many years, my favorite method of preparation was to cook steaks (or roasts) in an oven or smoker set at the lowest possible temperature they would go. In my case, the low temperature on the oven is 175F, and for the smoker, it's 150F. When the IT hit around 117F, I would pull and foil them for about 10 minutes, and then finish for 30 seconds a side at 600F. For the past 4 years, I been doing them sous vide at 123F followed by the sear.

The one steak I avoid is a filet mignon. That, and it's donor, the tenderloin, while being very tender are, to me, totally devoid of taste. To my way of thinking, both are the most overrated cuts of beef that a cow has to offer.

I only eat rib eye.  I have it once a week.  I can't recall the last time I had any other cut.  Only salt and pepper for me then on the grill cooked to a nice medium rare, rare if I am the only one eating.

NY Strip bone in is my favorite.Grilled with some Montreal Steak seasoning.

I find Rib Eyes to be fatty,although the top of the Rib Eye I think it is called the rib cap is great tasting.

Medium rare ribeye 1 inch or bigger cut. Close 2nd is filet. Rub with olive oil, salt and pepper. Hot grill. Sear both sides and get to 130 and pull off to rest. Usually gets to 135.

I voted 'other' - a toss between Chuck Eye or Flat Iron steak, leaning more towards Flat Iron steak as it is leaner.  Medium Rare, of course!
