Montana’s best steaks

[Big Sky Guy]

land of Magic, oasis, bison ribeye from Ted’s, Stacy’s in a nice spot. Lots of good ones around Bozeman.

My favorite spot all time is 5th street steak house in Chico, CA. Really consistent on quality and they had the ribeye dialed in IMO. I’m excited to get a list of some new spots to try

Oasis has been closed for a while. Now the Manhattan Saloon and has been hit or miss since renaming/sell.

Beef and Bone in Ulm has never disappointed me.

I've always been curious about that place, I'll have to check it out.

I generally believe that paying for a steak at a restaurant is not worth it. It's damn expensive and never any better than what I can grill up at home. Or maybe I just don't have very discerning taste in beef steak.

Nobody mentions Marysville House? I haven't eaten there in decades and would be curious to hear an update on the steaks. (Big Steaks and Big Drinks!)

Just to make sure I contradict my statement about not paying for restaurant steaks, I have enjoyed a few times the balsamic and roasted-garlic filet mignon at the Brewhouse in Helena.

This! I find that I don’t order steak at restaurants much these days for this very reason.

Balsamic reduction on steak is amazing. Haven't tried the filet at the Brewhouse, but local place does a NY Strip that's passable primarily because of the reduction sauce.

Is Karst. camp still open on the way to west yellow from Bozeman? 40 years ago it's was awesome.

Deer backstrap seasoned with just salt and smoked peppercorns seared then cooked to medium rare drizzled with balsamic reduction. Throw a side of mashed taters that soak up the rogue balsamic. Sign me up everyday!

Best steak I’ve had in MT was some prime fillets @Elkoholic and I picked up from Costco and grilled at high heat on lump charcoal and basted with garlic butter while grilling. Finished it with some kosher salt flakes and a baked Yukon Gold potatoes with plenty of butter and sour cream and asparagus on the side.

It’s not a steakhouse, but if anyone is near Missoula the little Oxbow self-serve store is a great place to grab local steaks to cook yourself.

Historic Gallatin Canyon Stage stop and dude ranch log building restaurant burned down. Then another restaurant was built across the highway, but closed many years ago. The old Corral cold beer bar and restaurant is still open, closer up the road toward Big Sky.

The Edgar bar is one of my favorites.

Lahood is usually really solid.

I’ve never been impressed with the Oasis or any of the options in Butte.

Lolo Creek Steakhouse, the couple times I have been there, is legit.

Same. Went a few times but it's been 15 years now. Steaks cooked over a wood fire and delicious bloodies!

And we're doing it again in August! I think adding crab legs or lobster is in order for this occasion!
Reading through this thread I actually thought of those filets too, they were fantastic.

I've had some great steaks in restaurants in my life, but tend to think my best I've had always goes back to some that were sourced fresh locally and cooked at home.

lahood better after the fire?

Unfortunately, it's tough to find a ribeye or a prime rib for less than $40 these days. That has let me perfect the reverse sear at home though, so my back patio is my go-to now.

Costco ribeye cooked on my grill.
A fraction of cost, better end result.

Best Prime Rib I've had in MT: Grizzly Bar in Roscoe

Best Ribeye: The Grand Hotel in Big Timber

For something super fancy: Buffalo Block in Billings

I think so. I always get the blackened ribeye.

Better since they put some sound dampener in there.
