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.

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!!!

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

Yes, Whitehouse was the place to go for the best hoogies. Haven't been there in years because every time we drive by, there's a line around the block.

I once bet a friend that I could eat a whole Special in under an hour. If I won, he paid and also would buy me one to go. Yes, I won the bet, but I hadn't eaten in 11 days, so it was not that hard. Being unemployed at the time, I made that second hoogie last.

I haven't been to the Whitehouse in many years. But I remember eating there as also being an event as much as the great hoagies. I've been able to "star watch" there on a few occasions. The roll was the key to their hoagies. I didn't like the cheesesteaks as much. But I'd order an Italian hoagie inside out with oil and onions. Mmmm...

Primos does a decent job here in Philly. Tying it into the topic eating a hoagie or cheesesteak while listening to your main rig just doesn't seem compatible. Watching the Phillies or Eagles maybe. But listening to Kind of Blue? I'm not so sure. :)
