Looking for a good steak

Bros Houligan definately has some quality steaks, I always get the T-bone.  However, since their new place opened at 61st and Mingo I think the service on 15th has declined since they likely moved some of the experienced staff to the new store.

I know grilling your own steak is not the same as a primo steak at a restaurant, but can anyone recommend a good local meat market for prime steaks?  Years ago, I used to buy meat at Perrys market on north Lewis, I think.  Haven't been there in years.  Reasors sells prime grade beef in their butcher counter sections.  For those of us that want to save a buck, what are the best local beef sellers?

St. Michael's Alley is kind of a hole-in-the-wall place at 31st and Harvard.  They have my favorite steak at any restaurant in Tulsa: the "charbroiled marinated club steak."  It's marinated overnight in sherry, soy sauce, and pineapple juice.  The restaurant has a sort of Irish pub theme- which makes it a great place to go on St. Patrick's Day.

I still go to Perry's. Hard to beat. Their ribeye steaks in particular are primo.

i thought Kals was ho hum, though I did like the mafia don hangout atmosphere.  The best steak goes to Mahogany's, but you are going to pay for it.  Also, Kal's wine selection is lacking.  I asked for a syrah (of ANY kind) and they only had ONE (1).  Thats kinda lame.

I did that. Never again. Will go to Freddies in Sapulpa before I go back to the Avalon.

Tried the Silver Flame the other night. Four of us spent nearly $200 and we still had to put up with mediocre bread with whipped margarine. these guys can't afford to go to Aldi's and get some $2.00 a pound butter? Their ovens are so full of potatos they can't serve some fresh bread? I KNOW Sysco has brown and serve loaves that are inexpensive, and if breadsticks are so tough, how come they are offered at Olive Garden?

oohh, I like their steaks too! I was just there for dinner last week. Had the Ribeye ... yum.

Wow, the Avalon when it was a Speak Easy type place hidden at the edge of the Industrial Park servered some of the best toppings for their Baked Potatoes.  

Story goes, when liquor was illegal in Tulsa County, the small window door on the front door played the part of having the password to gain entrance.  

I recall a lazy susan type server for the Potato Toppings, it contained Cream Cheese with Chives, Butter, Sour Cream and Bacon Bits plus perhaps some other topping.  

Always ordered their Chateaubriand, which was marvelous.  

Have not tried the new location.  

Speaking of Real Butter, we used to carry a tub of real butter to the "All You Can Eat Crab Leg Buffets" around town.  Seems there was one at 31st by the I-169 Exit at one time.  And the Silver Fork at Admiral and Memorial had Crab Legs. It is now Panchos.  

The kitchen would always melt the butter for us, and server up fresh sliced lemmons for dipping the crab legs.  

Who has those All You Can Eat Crab Leg Deals today?

I was in Las Vegas right before Christmas and went to the Friday night seafood buffet at the Stratosphere.

The crab legs were the size of children, or a small woman.

Back to the steak question, I went to Senor Tequlia's on Brookside on New Years Eve and ordered their T-bone steak covered with peppers and onions. It was surprisingly good and was only ten dollars.

My best yet. The Chalkboard Restaurant in the Ambassador Hotel, downtown Tulsa. The grilled center cut fillet with bearnaise sauce was impeccable. The wine list was very full of good suprises as well.

I have yet to try many of the previous recommendations, but they'll have a pretty high bar to get over. We'll see...
