I like mine cooked on a griddle too - same as Kate, little bit of oil on the pan, heat up to red hot, about 1 min per side (unless I feel like it blue, comme le frog).
Must get me a new griddle, I left mine up North. Griddles are good for many things - one of my favourite being asparagus blanched and then fried on a silly hot griddle with butter. Served with aforementioned steak and some boiled new tatties - heaven. /Drools.

The great thing about griddles is the heat dispersion and the taste you get on the meat. Also it doesn't let ALL the fat run away, but enough of it so that it doesn't get too dry and lose flavour.

Not quite, I believe a skillet is flat-bottomed. Other than that they're very similar.
I always use a griddle but often forget to lubricate the ridges, causing surface tearage when you go to flip the steak. n00bness tbh.

This bears no real relation to the thread except..... tonight I cooked a fillet steak to my perfection. Charred on the outside, brown around the very edges and red in the centre. It's so tender I don't even need to use a knife, just my fork (more down to selecting the right bit of meat than he cooking there though)
Steak...... mmmm... nom nom nom |
