Steak
Well after shocking people with my revelation that I dare to cook steak on my GF grill, I realised I have never cooked it any other way!
So tell me, how do YOU cook steak......?

On a cast iron griddle pan, a bit like the one below. Get the pan really hot before you put the pre-seasoned, room temperature steak on. I give my steak a brush of oil before I cook it too. My griddle pan cost me £9.99 and it's brill. Good for doing chargrilled peppers etc. too if you like fajitas.

I love fajitas but Phil doesn't
So I've added a griddle pan to my list of kitchen items wanted

If you want it done the proper way (blue) warm up an oven to about 75-100C before you cook the steak.
Leave the steak out for an hour or so, I tend to season it and put some olive oil over it whilst it's out of the fridge. As Kate said, VERY hot griddle, 20s each side, then put on a plate and put in the over for a few minutes to warm the middle up, it'll go to that nice deep purple colour. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. If you like it decimated, then cook it for about 1min each side. If you like it totally ruined, then 1.5mins each side. If you like leather, 2mins each side. Of course it depends on the thickness of the steak, this is just a rough guideline for a 200g piece of meat.

Definately not blue, I can't eat things that bleed.

Oh and I cook my steak (about 3cm thick) for about 1-1.5mins each side so it's red and bloody (well, it's not blood but you know what I mean) in the middle. Le Frog likes his bluer than blue

If it's cooked well (blue or not) it shouldn't bleed really. But in that case I'd cook it for about 1-1.5mins. But I'd still put it in the oven afterwards.

I do prefer a flat bottomed pan to a ridged griddle pan for steaks
