This is usually my thought too.
Though, I had the smoked aged ribeye at chairmans recently and it was pretty fantastic.

Yep. I can do a steak that's 80-90 per cent as good as a steakhouse for a half the price at home. I can't do a prime rib that's 80-90 per cent as good for half the price.

I feel I'm a decent enough cook as my dad was a chef and I worked in a few of his restaurants in my younger days but for whatever reason I can never cook a steak that tastes even as good as what you get at the Keg. Not sure if it's just because of the psychology of food tasting better when someone else makes it or maybe I'm just not great at cooking steaks.

Michael Kiwanuka has cancelled his appearance at the Folk Fest. He was the reason we got tickets for Thursday.
On the bright side, I guess I can spend the entire evening in the beer garden guilt-free.

A big part of the reason restaurant food tastes better is salt + butter + heated plates. The latter is especially important for big cuts of meat.

If that fails, some type of actual or liquid smoke or a cheap charcoal grill could help push it slightly higher.

Always been an olive oil guy myself, rub it in, add a pinch of seasoning, pretty comparable to 60-80 dollar steak eating out.

The Keg is absolutely perfect for prime rib. The one on 4th is my favorite restaurants in town, even though it needs a fresh coat of paint. But for an affordable steak meal, you can't go wrong. I always get the custom 20oz prime rib cut, some horseradish sauce, baked potato and those weird fried onions they come with. But I have yet to find a place with as good a prime rib for that value.
Otherwise I've stopped eating steaks at restaurants in general. Way too high priced when I can go to the store and get a quality cut for less than 1/3 the price. Been perfecting my steak technique since I was a teen and I'll go up against any chef or establishment, guaranteed you won't know the difference.

Try it with an Italian seasoning blend, so good.

Honestly, that was my first meal now that I'm back in Calgary for a month, a good steak.
You don't buy a ton of groceries living on an island, but especially high end meat.

You guys are all using a sous vide to start and sear after right? #### is amazing and couldn't ever go back.

Indirect charcoal heat at 225 until it reaches 100-110 internal and then reverse sear is the best steak I've ever cooked. Outstanding for pork chops, too.

I got one as a gift and still prefer the reverse sear method of using a warm oven to heat the meat up. Sous vide is just such an unappealing process too me.

Nah, when I do steaks that are thinner cuts it’s pan fry exclusively, the time between searing and cooking should be close to 0 (only for thin cuts).
Doing a thick tomahawk steak they go on my smoker at the lowest setting (160 ish) for an hour or so, in the oven at 225 until internal temp hits 115 and then seared and pulled at 130-135. Lots of butter, thyme, rosemary and garlic while in the oven. Olive oil for the sear.
