Yes, the ribeye is tops on my list, when cooking it on the grill, to get a good sear on the outside pat the steak dry on the outside with a paper towel, BBQ at the highest possible heat for 9 to 15 seconds on each side then put the steak on a lower-heat part of the grill, Cover and cook to desired doneness. Highly recommmend is a Klinker Brick Zinfandel(Not well known and way underpriced) and put on the Keiko Matsui Album Walls of Akendora on the stereo. Life is Good!
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.
