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.

FedEx just delivered a box of porterhouse steaks from Lobel's of New York. These are prime dry aged steaks and the flavor is fantastic.

Rrog- Make mine on the red side of medium rare. I'll open a nice aged cabernet and be right over ;-)
unless meat is organic, free of hormones and antibiotics and if animals are grass fed, pesticides are not used,

the food value of the meat is questionable.
au contraire, Iso. My son says we are "meat-a-tarians". Meat w feet, meat w/o feet, we loves 'em all.

Hey, Rrog, that cab is gonna get all vinegary, if you don't give me your address soon.
