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.

Rare Ribeye with the largest "skirt piece" (don't know the butcher-shop correct name for it) to eye ratio. That skirt piece (the part surrounding the eye) is awesome! And get it at your local natural foods supermarket. Here we have local beef raised free-range and fed range grasses and grain, no corn. It's excellent grilled over mesquite or using mesquite chips with a gas grill.
