The trick to a good rib roast steak is to sear and cook to rare. Let rest 30min at least. Cut thick and sear on high with butter 2min each side max to crust.
Best standing rib roast cooking formula is in the Barbara Kafka "Roasting" cookbook. It seems odd, with lots of dramatic changes in oven temps, but, I swear....PERFECT every time.

I need a good meats cookbook! Does this book cover all types of animals?0 -
I love a good steakhouse. I love it even more when someone asks for their cut to be cooked well done and the waiter refuses at first and tries to convince them against it. I order mine bloody.
My grandparents used to take me to a steakhouse every week when I lived with them over the summer. The place had a posted sign, a statement on the menu, and then reminders from waiters should anyone try to order any steak "well done" or even "medium-well" -- "we do not serve any of our steaks cooked beyond 'medium' - if that doesn't work for you, please feel free to choose something else from our menu."
Yeah I have also seen that before.

next time you have a family gathering or something get a standing rib roast from your butcher and cook that, it is the bomb...it cuts off like prime rib but definitely not the "mass produce" feeling...
get a little horseradish sauce with it and some roasted potatoes...so freaking good!!!
Are you from the Northeast, specifically the Buffalo area?
I didn't think anyone outside of that region knew about horseradish, much less ate the stuff.
I am from PA and it is fairly common here to do horseradish on roast beef
Born in Florida raised Cali live in Ohio and I do horse radish on some steaks- I started growing it a few years back its grows similar to hostas

AGREE AGREE AGREE!! I rarely eat steak and eat fish all the time. I'd go for the steak if for no other reason than the fact you already include salmon in your diet.

I love to eat all of the animals. Salmon is awesome. However at a steak house... I would choose the think they are named for...0

I would ask if the Salmon is Farmed or wild. If wild I would go with the Salmon since the steak is probably from a feedlot and full of antibiotics and hormones. If the fish is farmed go with the steak. They put pink coloring in farmed salmon (in addition to antibiotics) that is carcinogenic.0

I once ate a 30 Oz steak in a restaurant. Ironically it was finishing the salad that was my Achilles heal. Good times.0

That said, an additional tip is that if you have steak rare, it is harder for your body to digest and you will therefore absorb less calories (or so I heard?!) Enjoy your night out!
you heard wrong...
it may slightly increase TEF which would increase calories burned off..but you are injesting the same amount of calories whether rare, medium rare, or overdone...
I love that the next choice after medium rare is over done! Lol
...
I had dinner with clients one night and they were saying how they loved filet mignon and then they ordered it well done!!!! I wanted to be like, you want a saw to cut that with ....but I guess we are all different ..

Both.
Or don't bother with either and get what you really want:
Ribeye- or portorhouse.
next question- is it ACTUALLY a steak house- or are you going to a place that just does steaks too?
Because- yeah I'll get a filet mignon at like- Applebees- or long horn- but if I"m ACTUALLY at a real steak house- I'm going to order a real steak.0 -
Salmon with lots of lemon. (Well, it's what "I" would choose)0
-
Personally I would go for steak but only because I don't like salmon.

Eat both, like A MAN! THIS IS MURICA!0

You're asking two different questions that have two different answers. No, there is not a significant caloric difference (assuming similar preparations), but the salmon is a lot healthier.0
