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.

Oops, I just killed an ant crawling in front of my stereo. That enraged me. But you know what, I am not going to eat it. That was not really hunting.

Well, it appears that some people have at least as much passion about steaks as they do about music. Might be a connection..

I never eat or drink while doing critical listening, but I can have a background music coming out of the computer in the kitchen.
As for the different kinds of stakes, frankly I have no idea what you are talking about, but I do like venizon done right, medium rare, I guess, very hot and spicy but not too spicy. Beef stake can be fine too, of course.
And for drinks to go down along with it, well, good French or Spanish wine will do just fine. Or couple of shots of vodka, but not Finish or Polish, thank you.

Isochronism, it's a good one. So have you ever eaten a steak?

Speaking of ethics, I believe that it is better to hunt and eat what you kill than raise a cattle to be slaughtered. At least an animal in the wild has a chance to survive.
Fish can be good too, but I don't think I can exclude meat altogether. Besides here in NYC area it is quite expensive though a lot of it comes from outside the US.
Anyway, steak can be really good. Now I'll go eat something. To my regret this is not going to be a steak, just a sandwitch.

I don't know why.
$115 for a backpack is absolute minimum, in my opinion.
I don't use backpacks but I recently bought Victorinox shoulder travel bag that I use every day for $185. And it was on 40% off sale. Is it worth it? Probably, I'll see.

Chocolate covered ants would make a perfect desert for cannibals in Sahara. There are still some there.
No, I was playing Sade - Every Word You Say-. So I said my word to that ant.

While those guys and girls are at it in Nothern Africa, I better protect my stereo. Big hunter Irene is coming, and shit might fly throu the windows. I guess, by Sunday afternoon it is going to be so wet that I could go fishing in the neighbourhood and salvage whatever edible is available. But I don't think I am ready to join my Berber friends over their in cannibalistic orgy. It would take more than strong winds and rain.
