re: I hate steaks cooked on a grill.

Yep

I'm not hating on a good grilled steak, but to take the stance that a grill is inherently the best way of cooking a steak is ignorant and probably spoken by someone who couldn't tell a Maillard reaction from a mallard duck.

It's a function of rate of heat conduction. Air is shitty at it compared to direct contact. And the additional heat from radiation doesn't compensate for it.


There is a reason why many steakhouses don't use a grill either....
