re: you dont need a gimmick to cook a steak

But all kidding aside, my dad is an excellent cook. I learned most of what I know by cooking with him and experimenting on my own. But the man can't cook a steak.

my mother. She buys expensive cuts and just fricking ruins them. But thinks they are delicious. She buys a filet, butterflies it, marinates it overnight, adds some mass produced salty and spicy steak seasoning, cooks it in the grill over low heat with the lid down, then cuts it open while it's still cooking to check it's doneness, then cooks it further to a nice dried out well done.

The worst part is that she loves it this way, and does it several times a month. Yet wonders why I never seem to want steak at home.
