For thick steaks I start them in the oven. Place steaks on a rack cook at 275 until temp is about a 100to 110 degrees. Going for med rare. Then onto a blazing hot grill. Natural charcoal. About two to four minutes a side depending on thickness. Steak comes out perfectly and evenly cooked all the way through. A steak is not done right if only the middle third is done to your liking and the outer thirds are a step or two above your desired doneness. With the oven precook you don't overcook the outer areas of the steak as your trying to get the center up to temp.
