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.

the best steak is wild salmon. got your omega 3. meat can't compare to a good piece of fish.

if you forced me to eat meat it would be bison burger.
unless meat is organic, free of hormones and antibiotics and if animals are grass fed, pesticides are not used,

the food value of the meat is questionable.
i watched a tv program last night, whose subject was the "last heart attack". dr. sanjay gupta was speaking to president clinton about his recent surgeries, i.e., bypass and stent.

during the conversation several surgeons and dr dean ornish were featured.

the purpose of the program was to suggest that a diet free of animal protein, including fish, was ideal for heart attack prevention. if it has a mother don't eat it eas the advise provided by several cardiologists/cardiac surgeons.

a word to the wise ?

i intend to seriously reduce meat, chicken and dairy consumption.

ideally, being a vegan is the answer, but it is not easy to attain sufficient protein, or in some cases avoid anemia, unless one is clever about the selection of vegetable protein.
the alternative to meat is not necessarily a veggie burger, rather it is a vegetable protein, such as nuts, tempe, all kinds of grains and beans.

all i am doing is trying to prevent someone from getting a heart attack.

talk to bill clinton if you can. he can tell you about his experiences of changing his diet. i believe he became a vegan.
wat meat at your own risk. talk to a cradiac surgeon. i think medical practioners are genereally better sources of a good diet than others.
