[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of the above makes sense except for the suggestion to start with prime filet mignon.  Actual prime meat is very hard to find outside of select steakhouses, and if you do find it, it will be very expensive.  Filet mignon might be a good entree to meat but while tender it has the least flavor of the various cuts.  There are also lots of thin steaks like flat iron or hanger steak that are now available at grocery stores that cook fast and are less expensive.  Best advice above is to not go beyond medium in the cooking and strive to get used to rare if you can, where you will get more of the flavor of the meat.  [/quote]

Hanger and flat iron might be too flavorful for someone who isn't used to the taste of beef, though. I never order filet because I find it lacks flavor but I think it is a good starting point here.

OP, I suggest you go to Ray's (locations in Arlington and Silver Spring). The steak is really good, affordable, and there are lots of options. It's also unpretentious and less of an affair than some of the other steakhouses in DC. Don't bother with waygu (Ray's doesn't have it, anyway) on your first try. It's so expensive.[/quote]
