Bleu chaud, so a nice char, hot inside but still totally red.

The Dark Souls of Steak, cooking on the charcoal.

The rewards are great, as is the risk.

We salute you.

It's not. Use a thermometer. That would be like summoning in Dark Souls.
And reverse sear.

Charcoal grill for the unique flavour note.

Too bad i'm shit at cooking so i just make a sad steak on the pan.

I'd also like to add that you need to let your steaks come up to room temp before you cook them, if you take them straight from the fridge to the grill they will often burn on the outside before the inside warms up. A properly prepared steak can just breeze past the grill in just a few minutes, even the thicker cuts.

This is the most important advice. Letting the steak come up to room temp, salted, reverse sear, completely changed steak for me. It's like a different ingredient in terms of the flavour and juice, and it's the only way to get a steak to medium or medium well without it getting dry or tough.

No Asmongold style on the poll options?

Don't leave us hanging.
What is Asmongold style? A steak with trash on it?

I used to be a well-done heathen, but now I go for medium. The flavor is much better.

 

[Dr. Suchong]

I'd rather have a Burger.

 

[AJUMP23]

Some real fools in here. Well done steaks, no moisture. Steak has flavor when the meat is still red.

 

[YCoCg]

Nice to see the Medium Rare bros winning. I'll accept Medium too, but anything after that, you're all dead to me!

Some people like rare but they are impressed by the bloody look.

The look is almost as important as the taste for many.

Also, if you ask for rare and the chef is terrible, you get an animal that still move on your plate.

I work grill at a steak house in vegas on the strip. Most places want rare around 90 - 105. (It carry's over and eventually gets to 105). Anyone that's serves you blue (45 - 80 temp) has no idea how to cook.

I find it easier to just use thinner steaks for those "well done, please" heathens than try to appease them with a proper inch thick slab they will probably just massacre anyway, cutting away all the fatty bits and anything that has a hint of pink to it. The message sent when they get a little skirt steak while the true friends get a ribeye is clear as day

Low heat is your best friend when cooking a thick cut that is straight out of the cooler. High heat is used when you need a good sear / grill marks on a steak but are dealing with a piece of meat that is skinny (skirt , flat iron, caps, ribeyes etc). It takes time but the results are awesome.
