I invested in a Thermapen to get it cooked jusssssstttttt right. Thermapens are ACCURATE and they are quick to read the exact temp.

I cook mine to between 140-145 and pull it off, slap a cover or foil over it, and let it sit 5 minutes.

If you come to my house to eat a steak, and I tell you now I don't go cheap on feeding guests, if you ask for ketchup or steak sauce you will be given a hard time and maybe even never asked back again.

A good quality steak only needs salt and pepper.

You can add onions, peppers, mushrooms, etc, but NOT ketchup or steak sauce, at my house.

I like mine so rare that when you tip the plate, a pool of blood forms at the bottom. I haven't had a steak in a restaurant in years. I can cook one at home better than any steak house. It's not hard. A little Lawry's season salt, some garlic and onion powder and coarse ground black pepper. Sear one side, flip it, douse it with a little Lea and Perrins Worcestershire, done. Put it on a plate with a pad of real butter on top. I like to serve mine with some grilled/caramelized onions, bell peppers and mushrooms, along with a big ol' baked tater (butter, sour cream, cheese) and a Ceasar salad. Enjoy!

And I ain't spent no 20 something bucks on it neither.

I used to eat mine well done, and I wanted either Heinz 57 or A-1 sauce on it. I honestly don't know where that came from! Nowadays, I want it medium, with a hot pink center. No sauce of any kind. Don't even salt and pepper mine! Just cook the damn thing medium, like I asked. Mushrooms and carmelized onions are good, but on the side, please! A good steak doesn't need anything but properly applied heat!

Dad had a saying, "Knock off its horns, wipe its butt and wave it over a match."

He also died at the age of 92 with a pig valve and two quad bypasses under his belt.

I just finished my mango red jalepeno salmon and a huge salad. After my quad bypass in 2014.
