2) Do you marinade or not ?

3) Do you add a sauce or not ?

4) What's your favourite accompaniments with your steak ?

Well, due to health concerns--gout, high cholesterol, etc.--I don't eat red meat as often as I would like. (Even beer is bad for gout! There is no justice in this world.) But I do eat a steak about once a month--pretty rare and only about a 6-8 oz cut. But when I do eat meat, I want it to be the best around. But, the following is what I would like to have:

1. A T-bone because it's the best of both worlds: rib eye and strip all in one . . . on a bone . . .and it's real good!

2. I rarely put anything besides salt and pepper on a good steak. I have been known to put some Worchestershire in olden days, but not now.

3. I never put any kind of sauce on a good cut of meat. Doesn't need it. If you scorch the outside then throw it ona really hot fire and take it off while it's still mooing in the middle, it's perfect.

4. I am very basic: baked potato, asparagus, onions.
