prime aged beef, salt and a super hot piece of flat iron are all that is needed for the perfect steak. A big pat of butter and some fresh black pepper also don't hurt.
I eat steaks medium now. They taste better than rare. 30 seconds a side? Why even bother? Just pick it up and eat it caveman style.
I like just a touch of warm red center and the rest pink. I'm actually more of a mix between medium rare and medium.
