Steak is best when thrown on the grill at room temperature?

I don't care about the nancies who say leaving a steak out is a recipe for a bacteria-riddled disaster, I don't live in a pig pen.

Has been the standard for some time, but I read something recently that it has no bearing?

I like it chilled, allows a real nice sear, some good flavor development and a nice red center

Myth. A lot depends on the thickness. If I have a thinner steak, I'm putting it on cold. Otherwise, by the time I've developed the sear I want, the inside is past the desired medium-rare.

If you can cook an excellent steak when it's room temp when thrown on the grill and that's how you know how to do it, then do it. Steaks can also be cooked cold. It's all about knowing your process and what produces the best steak for you.

100% myth, proven scientifically many times.

I put my steaks out before I grill them just because I salt them about 20 minutes before I throw them on the grill.
