You were talking flavor. And a sirloin wins that side.

I bought 3 2" dry aged ribeyes from leblancs this morning for me and the fellas to eat at the camp tomorrow night.
Take them out the fridge an hour or so before cooking and sprinkle with sea salt and a little pepper. Charcoal grill hot as I can get it (about 750 with the one I have out there) slap em on for 4-5 minutes per side and do the poke test from there but usually not longer than 10-12 minutes total. Put em in a pan and top with a pat of butter, cover with foil and let em sit for 10 minutes while they get to med rare.
Eat.

It's tied for the least flavorful and the clear winner in least tender. It's clearly an inferior cut, but it's still beef, so I'm not hating.

What's the deal with room temp?

This exactly. It's the worst possible cut you can buy for a steak, but if someone wants to buy the worst possible cut because they like it, then go for it. Beef steak is still better than nearly anything else.

If you are searing it keeps the inside of your meat from being cold arse pink

I usually get my ribeyes cut about an inch thick. I have taken a liking to Montreal steak seasoning so I generously sprinkle that on both sides and leave on the counter about 2 hours to get to room temperature.

I like my steaks cooked on the grill over an open fire, so I never marinate them because marinate tends to burn over fire.

I get my grill to about 500 degrees and sear one side for about two minutes, then I flip once and sear the other side about two minutes and remove. Steak usually comes out a good medium rare.

I never use steak sauce. Serve with side of salad and loaded baked potato and I'm in heaven.

I'll give you an example. Bought a sirloin roast (tri-tip) on sale Monday. Cooked it at 200 for a few hours then sliced and seared with peppers. Hard to beat for $6.99 a lb.

Not sure what you qualify as a "real restaurant". You've seen sirloins in real grocery stores though right?

That's my stance on it, but Artie seems to disagree. He said it was an old wive's tale and is irrelevant, so Im asking him to elaborate.

Sure never brought one home to grill up. I ate a sirloin this week, it didn't kill me.

What I mean is that several people have debunked this. That in fact it makes no difference whether you rest a steak closer to room temp before you cook it. But again, I still do it.

First google result.

I get all of that and I figured someone has already debunked it. I want to know why. You laughed at the other poster and myself, as if "letting a steak get to room temp is bullshite" was common knowlege. How could us feeble minded folk be so gullible? So I want to know the science behind it.

If a 1.00" cut of meat has an internal temp of 40 deg and another has an internal temp of 65 deg and are both grilled in the same skillet for exactly 5 mins, then they will have the same exact center temp and doneness? Is that what youre saying? I truly dont know so Im asking.

I cook alot of steaks and bringing to room temp yields a much better result than cooking cold. I even used the microwave method last night.

If I have a preference and the time, I'm reverse searing.
