Like any other decent human being that understands how to cook a steak like a pro: let sit to room temp, Grill.

Nope

Sous Vide at 135 degrees then sear both sides in cast iron skillet.

Your welcome

Really now... Wouldn't the soy give it a slightly sweeter flavor?

yes it caramelizes really well over open fire, which is what you want with the steak crust

i used to use wo sauce but don't like it really anymore. i cook a lot of asian stuff and soy sauce is really versatile

i don't marinade the steaks or anything. i usually salt my steaks for the 30-40 min i let them rest (so the meat absorbs it) and then right before i put them on the grill i spash some soy sauce on and let it just coat the top and let the excess drip off

you need marinade to eat steak, you don't like steak.

I always try different ways to cook steak. Sometimes I use seasoning sometimes I’ll marinate, or both

Like any other decent human being that understands how to cook a steak like a pro: let sit to room temp, Grill. Dash of salt & pepper, done. Maybe a smidge of butter if you’re feeling extra frisky but that’s it. Steak marinades are atrocious.

I'll rub in a melted butter/garlic baste, sear it at 500 two minutes each side, turn the heat down to medium/low, baste in butter/garlic again, let it cook another 2 minutes per side, salt and pepper it, drape aluminum foil over my pan, let it sit 5-10 minutes.

Substitute butter for garlic butter; and also add brown sugar

Thanks for the tip. I’ve always liked marinating my steaks in wishbone Italian dressing!

Thanks?

A thick cut and a cast iron pan.

Marinade? Nah.

Sous vide? Yes.
