I usually buy AAA strip loin or AAA certified Angus strip loin.
Before COViD, when it is on sale at Sobeys or Longo's, at about $10 to $12 a pound.
But since about 6 months ago, it has increased to $12 to $15 a pound.
This evening, I will bbq veal chops, as it was on sale for $7 a pound.

Yes usually I buy and grill at home.
We went for hike with friends to Rawson Lake. My son wanted to eat steak for dinner after the hike. So I gave everyone a treat at Earls.
But my 14 year old son now understands how expensive steaks are in restaurants. Even 9 oz so tiny.
at killiney kopitiam this morning for makan. teh c and kaya toast.
at bedok bay.
Once in a while, it is good to go for a good steak at a steak house.
In Toronto, it could be at Hys, Barberian, Harbour 60, Canyon Creek, The Keg.
$35 and up, but most of it are at least $60 for a NY strip loin steak.
Hys, 10 oz strip loin $60
Barberians, 12 oz $72
Harbour 60, 14 oz $102
Canyon Creek, 12 oz $40
Ruth Chris, 16 oz $74

I should have gone to Cattle Baron Steakhouse or Chairman's Steakhouse instead.
Thought going to Earls would be cheaper. Guess it wasnt that much cheaper.
Another time.
We hardly go to steakhouses since we can easily grill our own.
They have big cocks, that matters for some big hole sluts.
Ordered a garlic shimp and a pad thai from a foodtruck.. After finished eating and walk down the road for another 100 meter, I realized there was another truck selling roast chicken which smell and look delicious.. too bad I am too full to eat another chicken.. next time, maybe..
oh yes, that looks heavenly. You eat well there, happy for you.
That looks good, Whereabouts are you at?
While there are many steakhouses in Calgary I do find them expensive to go to for a simple Sirloin Steak. Usually sets you back around $30
So BBQ at home is the way to go
Get them from Costco. Usually if it is less than $20/kg for Sirloin Steaks should be ok. If can get below $15/kg would be good deal.
@Asychee taught me this method of seasoning the meats. He said he learnt it from another friend who was a chef. Sprinkle the seasoning on a plate till it covers the plate.
Then put the meat on the plate. The seasoning will stick to the surface and be an even coating on it. Whereas with trying to sprinkle on the meat itself with the seasoning bottle you might get uneven spread.
Flip the meat and do the same (top up the plate with the seasoning before doing the other side)
Preheat BBQ to about 450 degrees F
I use the Cookina BBQ mats to save myself having to clean the grills. I like my BBQ clean. However this also means I dont get those grill lines on the steaks. But oh well unless it is a real party with lots of people and need to impress then forget it lah.
I find that cooking times vary depending on your actual BBQ grill. Also if it is propane tank or gas line. Mine is gas line. Gas line is less powerful I feel.
So adjust accordingly. For me I tend to do 2 min per flip. Flip 4 times. There is a way to turn it so that in a perfect world the grill lines on the steak will be nicely crossed. But yeah 2 min x 4 flips total 2 min. If the steak thickness is about 1 inch. Oh and close the cover after each flip. Keeps the heat in. Oh the 2 min x 4 is for medium rare. I am not that skilled to feel the meat how soft or hard to tell. I go by time. Sometimes if the steak is too hard or I took out too late from fridge still cold then may be more on rare side.
Enjoy!

In Hawaii
I also use stainless steel bbq.
A Napoleon natural gas model, which replaced my Napoleon stainless steel propane model
There is a side burner to sear the steak, but I have not used it.
I wait till the temperature is about 500 degrees.
Earlier, I bbq some veal chops, cut like a tomahawk steak. Very juicy. Excellent value at $8 a pound, on sale at Metro.
