A Five-Star Steakhouse Meal at Home

Our local butcher in Las Vegas, The Butcher Block, is our go-to place for some of the best quality steaks. For one of our last meals at home in Vegas, my dad usually grills some steaks. At $50 per pound of New York Steak, we hesitated for a moment and considered going to a five star steak house on The Strip. But, we realized that the way we eat at home (the cooking, the wine, the table setting) is just as five star as in a restaurant out on The Strip. Plus, these steaks, if you know how to cook them, are so worth the price.

One of the greatest joys in life is savoring each bite of a melt-in-your-mouth quality steak. Pair it with a good sauce and a well-aged wine - happiness.
