I can make a pretty good steak at home, I don't make prime rib.  If I am treating myself to a steak at a restaurant (and I have heard they have good prime rib), that is what I will order.  I bartended at a steakhouse in college.  Excellent prime rib.  Especially as the night went on.  The 8 o'clock rib was better than the 6 o'clock rib primarily because the same au jus was used all night long, so with every prime that went out the door, the sauce got a little more meatier. 

 

At home, even a ****ty cut of meat can be excellent if done right.  Ribeye, T-bone and sirloin are really easy to prepare.  Skirt and flank can be delicious with a good marinade (think tequila or a lime).  Loin is about the only thing I don't do on the grill, not sure why, other than out of the oven it is divine. 

 

I would also eat hamburgers 3 of 4 times a week.  I seldom order them at a restaurant, because I prefer to make them myself.

Nah, my prefect Surf & Turf is PrimeRib or Ribeye and Sashimi (though good scallops are a close second).

 

Unless you get your ribeyes from some forgotten freezer in Guam, they should never be marinated. That renders out the flavor and if you know how to cook them they're very tender. Marinating is for cheap, nasty cuts.

 

I do salt them violently though.  

4-5 bone standing rib roast. Cut it off the bone. Rub the entire roast with a brown mustard/horseradish/salt/pepper paste. Tie the roast back to the bone. 300 degrees until it hits 127. Take it out, cover it with foil, temp will creep to 135 over the next 15 minutes.

 

Bone in rib eye 1 3/4 inch thick or a 1 1/2" thick NY Strip. Salt n pepper only. Few minutes over blazing hot coals to sear. Finish with indirect heat to med. rare.

 

Can't lose either way.
