That is a perfect mid-rare and exactly how I like my steaks. By the way, that steak rested for 7 or 8 minutes before I cut it open. The juices were well distributed by then...

Steaks that I cook with nothing except salt and pepper: NY Strip, ribeye, T-Bone, Porterhouse and filets.

I will season lesser cuts with marinades to tenderize them. I go with themes when I marinade, like Mexican or Thai influence.

Jax, that is a beautiful thing there!!!!

I use kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper on one side and my homemade Cajun seasoning on the other. Comes out fantastic.

He edited his post to remove tenderizing it, maybe someone slapped him upside the head with a ribeye to let him know steaks don't need tenderizing.

That was why I asked him what grade meat he was buying. Low grade meat cooked poorly will get you shoe leather. I wasn't sure if he knew the difference in grades, but I didn't get an answer.

I eat my meat rare now, but growing up my dad cooked sirloins to well done (he would cut through the center of the steak and check for any pink) and I ate it with ketchup. Didn't know any better...

I use lemons for tenderizing my steaks instead of oil based products. Not as much flare up when cooking.

Hey, it took me a long time to figure out how to cook my steaks perfectly. I always thought steaks are easy - you throw them on the grill, you flip 'em a couple of times, and when they look cooked on the outside, you pull 'em and tear into them right away.

You have to pay attention, you have to be able to determine how well the inside is cooked, and you have to pull the steak BEFORE it gets to the ideal temperature for you (because the steak continues to cook after you remove it from the heat). It's not rocket science, but it's not as easy as you would think.

because the OP said that he uses a fork to tenderize his steak prior to cooking, but then edited the statement after getting blown up...

Jax...how do you do your blue cheese butter?

Every time I try it my blue cheese loses it texture, am I over working it?

I have absolutely no idea. I'm usually more concerned about putting the piece of meat on my fork in my mouth instead of under a microscope.

It's something my dad did when he use to charcoal us steaks when we were kids and until this day I still haven't had steaks as good as his. All he used was lemon and Season-All. Oh yeah, and a six-pack of Schlitz.

I would like to know this also. I usually make my wedge salad on the side to get my blue cheese fix. Your topping looks perfect for filets and days when I don't make a wedge. TIA.

Edit: Jax how are you enjoying my hometown? I am a Jax native (technically Atlantic Beach) that has been in Louisiana for the past 8yrs.
