What in your Opinion is the tastiest piece of Beef
 
No sauces or Rubs,no one cares on how tough.
What is the tastiest cut of Beef, in your opinion.

MrSlayer 03-31-2013 03:52 AM

For me, it's the ribeye. Nothing better than a pound and a half, medium rare cowboy steak.

Trumpstylz 03-31-2013 04:13 AM

Ribeye, hands down. Best intense marbling of any steak I've ever seen. Throw a few weeks of dry aging (wet also works) and its even better. If you're talking about que though, my favorite is probably brisket (with salt and pepper- not sure if thats what you meant though when you excluded rubs).

Skidder 03-31-2013 04:48 AM

Most any beef that raised at home would be superior in taste. Nothing like store bought beef. At least all that I have had. Huge difference.

beercuer 03-31-2013 05:07 AM

Good question, Titch. Well, without any seasonings of any kind, I guess for me it would have to be a chuck blade steak or tritip. And the least tasty would be filet mignon-- that stuff only has taste appeal when it is properly dressed.

Although I would not eat it again if I knew what it was....

I was served a piece of beef, so tender and so flavorful beyond anything I had ever tried. I loved it and we stuffed ourselves. The tenderness wasn't the determining issue, but it did make it even more enjoyable. The flavor of the beef was just so intense...

After the picnic was over and all was put away, we were told it was beef tongue. I will still say it was the best piece of beef I had ever eaten, I just can't bring myself to eat it knowing that it is beef tongue..

Mind over Matter I guess..

CarolinaQue 03-31-2013 06:38 AM

For steak...rib eye, no question. For roast beef, there is a cut we get up here in New England called a "spoon roast" that I absolutely love.

savageford 03-31-2013 06:39 AM

Ribeye or porterhouse

WineMaster 03-31-2013 06:40 AM

A 1 1/2 lb Flat Iron.

boogiesnap 03-31-2013 06:41 AM

back rib, short rib, shank. ribeye ain't bad.

kds9547 03-31-2013 06:42 AM

A good quality seared NY strip. Sirloin would be second. I love ribeyes too. I must say that I have never had tri-tip. Can't find it around here. I may order one online to see what all the buzz is about.

code3rrt 03-31-2013 06:43 AM

As much as I love a good riebeye/prime rib, I really like the flavor of a top sirloin a bit better. I have yet to try a tritip, but it is certainly on my radar after reading all the good things here.

FireChief 03-31-2013 06:45 AM

As much as I live ribeye and brisket I would have to say properly marinated skirt steak or flank steak. Love me some beef fajitas....

5string 03-31-2013 06:49 AM

Ribeye, medium rare please.

VA-Dave 03-31-2013 06:53 AM

Most intense beef flavor with no seasoning?

Beef ribs, hand down.

Dave

BigBellyBBQ 03-31-2013 07:16 AM

never meet up with a hunk of beef that I would put at the bottom..however to answer the question ...for me....rib eye / prime rib//tri tip// brisket//

tish 03-31-2013 07:24 AM

For me... prime rib/rib eye. No contest. :thumb:

chicagokp 03-31-2013 07:29 AM

Ribeye and hangers. I love them best very simply dressed.

JohnHB 03-31-2013 08:03 AM

I am not sure how most measure flavour but no question hanger steak has the most. However a close second must be beef cheek.
How one can compare rib eye, tri tip, brisket etc etc to those two bewilders me.
John

Untraceable 03-31-2013 08:10 AM

Chuck eye

Another on my list of things to try.

Pure goodness right there.

Gnaws on Pigs 03-31-2013 08:53 AM

Not many parts of a cow I don't like, but for just the pure primal taste, my favorites are ribeye stak and ground chuck.

TheBear 03-31-2013 09:11 AM

Flat iron

K-JUN 03-31-2013 09:27 AM

I've never thought about this. I honestly have never cooked anything without some type of seasoning.

landarc 03-31-2013 09:55 AM

That is tough. For pure flavor, the tail, shank, cheeks and tongue really are terrific.

Yeaaaa when it is done perfect and the fat is so nice and crispy that you eat every speck of it fat and lean....and can fondly remember that steak for years. Wife and I have been cutting back so the ribeyes get smaller...but they are still good :-).

TX Roadhouse makes a mean sirloin too :-). I once filled up on appetizers and salad and had most of my steak boxed to take home for later, then FORGOT it when we left, I still pine for that steak :-). I mourned it more deeply and longer than some people I have known who passed away.

Id have to go with a big fat ribeye cooked caveman.

chriscw81 03-31-2013 10:40 AM

ribeye makes my heart melt......

ssbbqguy 03-31-2013 11:56 AM

Tenderloin all the way. Steve.

I agree 100%.

The two cuts I would add. Chuck is what tastes the most like "beef" to me. Takes me back to childhood. Can't compete with that.

I would also add Hanger steak. Loves me some hanger.

kennyd0118 03-31-2013 12:28 PM

Short rib.
for steak, ribeye.

Gore 03-31-2013 12:31 PM

I'm guessing you're meaning tasty in a good way, ... right?

If you asked me last year - my response would have been a well-marbled great steak cut.
Now - its been leaning towards a good beef shank or a well treated beef tongue.

Zin 03-31-2013 01:00 PM

Angus fajita is my choice.

StokeMySmoke 03-31-2013 01:02 PM

Nothing better for me than a chuck roast (clod) cooked to an internal of 210 or so and then pulled. Great for sandwiches, tacos, wraps or just pile it on a plate and dig in.

Pyrotech 03-31-2013 08:57 PM

Ribeye is top of the list, followed very close by tri-tip, and skirt steak can be very good if done right

Oh yes! Beef tongue. I've eaten it many times. My dad loved the stuff. He always boiled it. It was always tuff stuff to get down!

gayler 03-31-2013 09:22 PM

I have to vote Ribeye as well.

Callahan-que 03-31-2013 10:23 PM

Ribeye for me as well.

columbia1 04-01-2013 08:54 AM

The only way to judge taste would be by grinding the meat, then tasting, and Chuck wins every time!!

Big George's BBQ 04-01-2013 08:59 AM

Bone in Rib Eye Med Rare YUM

Lake Dogs 04-01-2013 09:28 AM

Another vote for Ribeye.

smokeylips 04-01-2013 02:12 PM

Dry aged rib eye:icon_smile_tongue:

This. The tail taste so intensily beefy. cheeks and tongue make the best tacos.

yakdung 04-01-2013 07:14 PM

Porterhouse.

Churrasqueiro Bob 04-01-2013 07:34 PM

I'll vote for ribeye, followed by porterhouse and NY sirloin. I've never had hanger, is that what is called or is it a regional term?
