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 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. :)

Also have not been to Whitehouse in a real long time. As mentioned, their claim to fame was always the roll. Remember the Italian hoagie being decent as well.

Speaking of Italian hoagies, Primo's is excellent. Like Rita's Water Ice, finally, a franchise capable of doing the Philly food the right way. Again, John's Roast Pork and Tony Luke's as well. Add Shank & Evelyn's and Sarcone's, too.

@trelja. I was never an Italian water ice fan so Ritas isn't my top choice. But in honor of this thread I'll go to Primos tomorrow. :) Tony Luke's is a bit of a distance from me but we have Nick's Roast Beef here in the NE and they make a great roast pork.
