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.

as a dedicated carnivore from the epicenter of beef, i'll opine that costco has the best quality (and usually best priced) meat. even their lower-end cuts (skirt, round, etc.) are great; i think it's better than the much pricier whole foods and high end purveyuors like allen brothers.. i've had a bunch of professional chefs tell me that they buy all their meat at costco; i imagine being the biggest seller gives 'em the access to the best for less. how any of this relates to audio, i know not, but it definitely makes me hungry.
The greatest invention for charcoal grilling has to be the metal chimney starter...no nasty fluid or electric needed...one sheet of newspaper in the bottom, coals in the top section, lite it & in no time you're good to go. The mad cow scare turned my wife off on beef so for years now it's been chicken, pork, sausages or wild salmon on the Smokey Joe. Fat Delmonicos from the local small meatmarket used to be our favs.
Kobe beef, before the quake. Stock up, it will never taste the same. I hear it is at $80 a pound.
the best steak is wild salmon. got your omega 3. meat can't compare to a good piece of fish.

if you forced me to eat meat it would be bison burger.
I don't eat meals while listening as it is hard to play my "air" guitar and cut meat at the same time. Even harder if I decide to cut a rug. However while watching a movie I like a nice thick rib steak medium well with a baked spud, green beans and big puddle of A1.
