Best steak to eat while listening to your rig?

One of life's little pleasures for me is grilling a nice steak, grabbing a satisfying Argentine Malbec or California Cabernet, and parking myself in front of my hi-fi for some musical enjoyment. It really doesn't get much better than this (unless it's raining or snowing outside -- that's icing on the cake).

So, what are your favorite home-cooked steaks and how do you prefer to prepare them? For me, I find that a ribeye or porterhouse from my local Wegman's is fantastic. I season it with Montreal steak seasoning and grill it for about 8 minutes per side (4 minutes in the 10 o'clock position and 4 minutes in the 2 o'clock position). I've played with grilling for less time and finishing in the oven, but don't feel it adds much.

I never eat or drink while doing critical listening, but I can have a background music coming out of the computer in the kitchen.
As for the different kinds of stakes, frankly I have no idea what you are talking about, but I do like venizon done right, medium rare, I guess, very hot and spicy but not too spicy. Beef stake can be fine too, of course.
And for drinks to go down along with it, well, good French or Spanish wine will do just fine. Or couple of shots of vodka, but not Finish or Polish, thank you.

I have enjoyed meat for years, tho decided against it some time ago for my own ethical feelings.

Elizabeth, You can still get steaks that taste the way they did 40 years ago, but you have to pay for it. Try Lobel's Prime dry-aged steaks. Order a couple of porterhouse steaks and enjoy. I guarantee you won't stop eating until you have eaten every bit of meat off the bone. Lobel's sends the steaks out fresh, not frozen and delivered the next day, so you know they are fresh and they are delicious.

If you want chicken that tastes like it did 40 years ago try Smart Chicken organic chicken. It is tender and delicious like chicken is supposed to be.

Sufentanil, We have the same taste. Porterhouse steak, California Cab, Montreal Steak seasoning and steaks criss crossed on the grill. Perfect!
