This is an odd question sort of, but bear with me. I normally can eat steak with no problems as long as it's cooked right and I eat it slowly.

Our normal steakhouse closed down so we've been going to a local chain grill place. The last two times I've gotten steak there so much of it is wasted. I can't chew it all the way up and I end up spitting it in my napkin because I'm too scared too swallow. It looks normal but it's not chewable. Is it grissle (sp?) in it or what?

I'm so dissapointed because I love a good steak and lately I can't get one.

I go with prime rib if I want beef. It is usually more doable then steak.

Sounds like the quality of the steak is not tender enough. I always order the highest quality steak, yes I spoil myself.

I would try another type of steak or steakhouse. Good luck.

I love steak.... and sometimes my band loves steak. Other times it doesnt. That said...I wish there was a way to know... but since there isnt, I play it safe and always get a high quality beef of the most tender cut like filet or tenderloin. Sometimes a rib eye or prime rib is ok too. Then I just hope for the best.

I have never found a New York strip steak that my band didn't like

I have totally given up on steak..no matter how I do it it just will not go down. Last time I vomited 5v times and that was my final clue this is just not worth it. I do love and can eat prime rib rare. YUM

IT'S THE ONE meat I have never been stuck on. Sometimes when I am eating a meat of any kind I just can't swallow it cuz I can't get it chewed. I don't even have to think about it anymore, I just spit it out when that happens.

I think you should try a better cut.

I can only eat the best cuts and I have to cut really small bites...I usually share one with my husband

I haven't tried steak yet. I did have a sliver of prime rib and all was okay. I am 2.5 months out and at zero restriction, so, who knows what the future will bring.

I share with my hubby too... only lean tender cuts. I have never had a problem except with london broil...too chewy and I got stuck, so no more. Filets and prime rib or me! I am worth it!

My husband and I have always loved ribeye steaks and we used to eat one large one a piece. Now, when I want steak, I only take a portion of his and he eats the rest. Would I ever eat a cheaper cut? I doubt it! I had a sirloin once from Texas Roadhouse and what I went through with it almost turned me against eating steak forever! By the way, we have agreed from here on out that if we want steak, we will buy it and grill it at home - it's cheaper, I get it cooked the way I want, and we share without any questions. I've tried tenderloin, but just don't like the taste compared to ribeyes.

no cant do it or maybe I am just afraid to try.

Thanks guys! Sirloin is actually my favorite steak ever but the last two were just awful. I try not to get anything too expensive because my husband won't share it with me, I eat medium rare, he eats medium well.

Only time I ever had an issue with Steak was when I ate as a left over the next day. It was too dry and it got stuck.

I absolutely can not eat steak but I know some people can. I also just chew and chew and chew and then I am scared to swallow.

Ribeye is my steak of choice...yum yum. And a tiny bit of salad and that does it for me
