A steak lover . . . yes. But Mark's? Meh. Over-rated and overpriced in my opinion. Outback was in it's prime long ago. Longhorn is the new (old) Outback. Best steak for the $$ . . . (sorry), Texas Roadhouse. One of the best rib-eyes I've ever had . . . Gallagher's in NYC was the best (at about $50).

So, are there any excellent restaurants, that serve great filets in the surrounding area from Ocala to Mt. Dora?
I lived in Tampa Palms years ago and begged Stonewood to open a restaurant near here. They would do great but as the closest one besides Tampa Palms is Daytona.[/QUOTE]

They closed down the one in Fort Myers several years ago. There is one in Lake Mary, if that one also didn't close.

It looks like Mark's and Oscar Penn's, for me, so far. Bern's looks more like a special occasion for me - maybe overnight in Tampa.

The restaurant doesn't have to have a famous name like Barclay's of Philadelphia, or Flemings, the over-priced chain, where the filet alone is $53 and a baked potato is $10.

Charley's Steak House

Charley’s in Tampa is by far the best. It beats Berns by a long shot.

Marks prime in Ocala and Ruth Chris in Orlando or Tampa

no such thing in Florida!

Although we love Berns, my wife and I have always had great filets at Outback.
Cooked Pittsburgh style comes out perfect every time.
I also buy nice thick filets at Sam's, marinate for 2 days then pan sear them in a cast iron skillet over the flames from a turkey fryer stand. Mmmmmm

The best filet is the one I cook at home. Get the USDA prime whole tenderloin and cut your own. Make them about 2 inchs thick. Get a cast iron skillet very hot. I leave it on the burner at high for 4 or 5 minutes. You want it so hot you can't even touch the handle. Bring filets to room temperature. Liberal salt and pepper both sides. Sear each side about 3 minutes and then put skillet into a 400 degree oven about 5 minutes. Top with garlic butter and remove from oven. Internal temp should be 120 degrees. Rest for about 5 minutes. Ready to serve at medium rare.

I also do another I really like called a black forest filet. Cook the same way but after being in the oven for about 4 minutes, remove and slice almost all the way through and stuff with Stilltion cheese. Return for another minute so cheese melts. Remove and rest, top filet with garlic butter and crab meat and serve with a black cherry and red wine reduction sauce. Delicious
