How do you cook your steaks?

[TNHarley]

I do them in 2 ways.
With both ways, I put the meat in the freezer for about 30 minutes before cooking. If you use a liquid marinade, wipe it off before putting it in the freezer. "room temp" is old school.
1 - Grill. I use lump charcoal as it is a lot hotter than charcoal. I move all the charcoal to one side. A couple minutes on both sides over the coal, and a few minutes on the side. I like to sear it, then heat the middle.
I have found that rubbing them with olive oil or butter during the searing process is about the best thing you can do. I used butter sat night with some creole in it. AMAZING
I usually just use salt, pepper a touch of oil and maybe some creole. That's it. I might re-salt after freezing.
2. Pan sear and broil
Same rub. I sear them on high with a touch of oil for a couple minutes on both sides. Then broil the hek out of them until desired temp is reached.
IMO, searing is the most important. That's why I freeze them.

Blackened steaks are really good, too. If I use that I just sear them the whole time.

I use wood from the forest and cook on a couple of 8x16 blocks with a grill....I do also marinate, both liquid and dry rub...

A good side is grilled potatoes, asparagus or corn.
Potatoes I slive them, little garlic, sliced onion and butter
Asparagus is directly on the grill. I use soy and when they get done, I coat in sesame seeds.
Corn, I take out all the hairy part(lol) rub in butter and a bit of salt and wrap them back up in the husk

Not boiling, just using water to heat. If you want your steak cooked at 137 deg you set it and it will never get above that.

I use a torch to sear the outside just before serving.
