I have some friends who are pretty good cooks who do them this way every time, swear by it. Always pan seared in the cast iron skillet. They are also into this current healthy diet that is just meat and veggies, little or no wheat. One guy who does this is a pretty good athlete, (tennis), he's healthy as a horse but I chalk some of that up to youth, lol. They will make a huge salad in the summer and everyone is eating that with a nice steak sliced-up in the middle of the table for anyone to grab some if they want. Great meal.
My dad alway grilled steaks on the barbie outside and they were delicious, charred on the outside and pink in the middle. Man I love a good steak, this thread is making me hungry.
