Tips for grilling steak
boykster:
I'm sorry, you're comparing Kobe Beef (if it is truly Kobe / Waygu style beef and not just named that) to Applebees?
:laugh2:

Laugh all you want.. but my wallet was crying after the first bite.
I could stand paying good money if it was worth it.. and to me,
it really wasnt IMOP. And yes, it was the real deal.. as this
was a high profile resturaunt. I also noted the marbling
which matched the descriptions Ive heard about.
The typical applebee steak was much more tender and
tasty. As has been said here.. quality of the meat doesnt
always matter. Its how its cooked and seasoned that
counts as well.
Btw - have you even had a steak at Applebees? The
burbon steet steak is the best seasoned steak Ive
ever ate. Ive never tasted anything like it.
And as Ive said.. Ive had Filet Minion, and that
was much better IMOP than the Kobe.

I had some Filet Minion at one of those Japanese We Cook In Front Of You places the other day.

I hate Applebee's. All of their food has a similar taste to it, and it's unfortunately kind of a ---smurfy--- taste. They're steaks, in my opinion, are mediocre at best -- not even as good as a Sizzler steak.

I have to agree with you here.
Yes, I've eaten at an applebees, and IMHO it's maybe a step above Denny's in quality. I'm sorry you had a bad example of a Kobe steak, that does happen. In fact I've had a bad Kobe steak before too...you know what I did? I sent it back and ordered something else -> and didn't pay for it.
I prefer my steaks come very lightly seasoned...pepper and salt rub at most with some olive oil to allow the natural beef flavor to really shine. I would never order a bourbon steak :dunno If YOU like it, that's all that matters though, and I'm glad you enjoy it!
I try to stay away from large chain places like applebees, olive garden, outback, etc and find I get much higher quality food at chef owned restaurants. Its a shame that most of america considers the olive garden to be good italian food and red lobster to be a good seafood restaurant :dunno
