It has GOT to be the most BLAND & hard piece of meat I've ever had. I asked the waitor, they dont use any dry rub, marinade, nothing. Just thrown on a regular BBQ. Anyone can do that... So why did I pay the outrageous $40 for a hard plain piece of meat? Wont do that ever again! Their Veggies that came with the steak was far superior though. Had their "Prime" 16 oz NY Steak.
