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.

Thinly sliced ribeye, a thin crusty roll, fried onions and a good melting cheese. Or what we colloquially call a Philly Cheesesteak wit.
@ 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.
@MrTennis. I know enough doctors to know they have as many bad habits as anyone. lol. They drink, smoke, have poor diets, do drugs...
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. :)
@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.
