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.

@ Trelja. That's easy. Steve's Prince of Steaks in the NE. Forget Pat's, Jim's, Geno's or Tony Luke's. Anyone that tries Steve's is an instant convert. That said, you can do a pretty fair job at home using thinly sliced ribeye and a good roll. Don't forget the fried onions.
wat meat at your own risk. talk to a cradiac surgeon. i think medical practioners are genereally better sources of a good diet than others.
Nice choice on Steve's, Baka1969.

I also like (the VERY non-PC named) Chink's when I'm up in that part of town. I also like John's Roast Pork and Mama's. We diverge on Tony Luke's, I happen to give them a thumbs up. Ever tried a Schmitter at McNally's in Chestnut Hill? I mean, up there, not at Citizen's Bank Park, though it's great that an MLB park would serve such quirky fare.

Agree, skip Jim's, Pat's, and Geno's. I'll add Abner's, Larry's, and Dalessandro's to that list. Maybe they'd be OK in Virginia Beach (sorry, inside joke), but they just don't cut it with all the other good places in Philly.

And, for the record, chicken cheesesteaks suck!!!
@MrTennis. I know enough doctors to know they have as many bad habits as anyone. lol. They drink, smoke, have poor diets, do drugs...
Not in Philadelphia but I was a big fan of Whitehouse in Atlantic City.
I stopped in about 2 months ago.Everything looked the same small, dingy and bad service.This time the Sub was terrible.
Funny how the good stuff seems to end while the bad goes on endlessly
