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.

Organic meat.

I'm not Mr. Eco-Lefty guy, and I pass on the organic marketing crap, but organic meat is the real deal. The taste is noticeably superior. This must be the flavor Elizabeth was mentioning. The animal gets no antibiotics, no steroids and eats only wild grass that is never fertilized or sprayed with anything.

Screw the process, the meat just taste noticeably superior. It's well worth the extra money...kinda like our stereo rigs.
