I have had a good steak at Chop House here in the Villages. Yachtsman Steakhouse at Disney’s Yaght Club resort is really good too. They almost make them as good as we do at home. The problem I’ve found with most restaurants is that you might have an amazing steak there once then when you go back, not so much. Inconsistency is an issue for me. Been too long since I’ve been to Bern’s in Tampa to review it, but that’s probably an excellent recommendation and worthy of a special occasion.

A good fillet is something we sous vide and sear on a very hot Big Green Egg. A 1” -1 1/2”ribeye we like to cook fully on the egg to just below desired temp. (Recently had a 2 1/2” cowboy ribeye off the sous vide with sear…holy cow that was amazing). We spray the meat with duck fat just before throwing on the grill which makes a good flame for searing.

More critical is where to get meat. I have not found an equal to Wassi’s in Melbourne, but I did get some quality Prime cuts ordered from Snake River Farms recently. Neither are inexpensive. Tried butcher box….terrible quality.

I did think about trying Best Meats in Wildwood. Anyone have insight to their quality?
