I used to like my steak very well done as a kid. But if the meat is really top quality, I now prefer it medium to medium well. I also love Carpaccio (raw slices of beef served as appetizer).

Add a bunch of sauteed 'shrooms, a big honkin' baked 'tater with LOTSA of butter, and a nice garden-fresh salad....Yummmm!
I do steaks on the grill about once a month, year round. It's never too hot or too cold to fire up the home-brew charcoaler!!! If it's been killed, it's meant to be grilled!!!  |
What time is dinner? 
You ring the bell, I'll salivate.

I'm so there with you Goonie! That's very much what I do (gas grill though). The only places I have ever had a better steak than I can grill are places that are unique in their approach. We visited an Argentinean steakhouse once that I thought was exceptional for their steaks. Another restaurant did some kind of pan-searing of a thick-cut steak then oven-roasting that was just awesome - something I can't do in the motorhome since I have neither the venting nor the proper oven.

I voted rare because that is the way I used to order BUT
these days I cannot afford to buy even the select (below choice) grade of steak to cook at home let alone go out for the prime stuff.
