I like my steak barely dead-I keep it in the fridge until I take it outside and put it on the grill...

Cooking a steak in a pan is a mortal sin...

I loves me some proper chimichurri.

Tried making some at home based on an intarweb recipe but it was so-so. Wonder if the kosher salt makes a difference.

Yeah, agree about the pan. We have a nice seasoned cast iron grill for the stovetop for bad weather worst-case scenarios, but charcoal grilled is best. Nice and hot so the fat on the outside gets crispy.

Also, I’d try that spice combo mentioned in the link, but I’d only be cautiously optimistic. We usually bring the steak up to room temp, my wife gives it a rub of salt, pepper, and a little garlic, and then we just do a couple minutes on each side for a nice rare grilling.

Best. Porterhouses. Ever.

You must be a youngster. Steak au Poivre. Fillet done right. Best steak you will ever taste.

Oh no! MrD cooked steak in my 58 year old cast iron skillet on the stove top 2 days ago. Heat the skillet put the lightly seasoned steak in for 3 minutes per side. Fantastic!
