Grill to medium-high heat, steak on for one minute, flip and grill for one minute, flip, turn 45 degrees, grill for five minutes, flip again and grill for five minutes.

Et voila. The perfect steak.
I see you sear in the juices. Nice.

God damn it.

There is no such thing as "searing in the juices" when it comes to cooking meat. The only reason to sear a steak (or any piece of meat) is to give it a better crust (and the best way to do that is the Ducasse method). You literally cannot "sear in the juices" of steak. Meat simply does not work that way.

The rate of evaporation of moisture in meat is a constant. You can't "lock in" juices in meat. If you want your steaks to be moist, let them rest, covered, for 5 - 10 minutes after being removed from heat, so they can re-absorb the juice.

Beat me to it. ;)

The quick early flips just helps to cook each side evenly, rather than exposing one side to heat exclusively for the first five or six minutes. It's also aesthetic: the 45 degree turn usually results in a nice cross-hatched grill pattern.
 
You don't want to forget the marinade, that's important if you want it to taste good. But beware of cheese :guffaw:
 
^^ Marinate really tough cuts of meat, like eye of round steak, as that helps all the collagen break down. Don't marinate a good cut like a strip, porterhouse / T-bone or ribeye, though. For a good steak, all you need to do is coat both sides with a small dollop of olive oil, kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper. That's all.

I only grill certain cuts of steak, for that matter -- New York strip, notably, works well with grill heating. T-bone works pretty well, too, although with the bone, it's better suited to a broil.

Tougher cuts like round or ranch steak do well with spending ten hours in a crock pot.

An exceptionally marbled steak, like a good cut of ribeye, is best cooked either with the Ducasse method or by getting a cast iron skillet hotter than the surface of the sun, searing the steak for about 45 seconds on each side, and then tossing the whole thing, skillet and all, into a 450-degree oven for a little under three minutes on each side.

Which reminds me, I have two ribeyes defrosted to make for dinner tonight, along with some sweet corn, baked potatoes and salad.
 
*runs off crying*

You're not alone. I like men and I especially like unaltered men but there's a point where things get gross. Having it rehashed even makes me blush. Perhaps smegma and dirty cock discussions should make their way to TNZ... :cardie:
 
What's TNZ? Yeah, sure, the Neutral Zone, but what's it got to do with the TrekBBS? Is "belong in TNZ" like a metaphor for "shouldn't be talked about"?
