Ok, keep seeing reference to grills. The brand of grill you have will make a big difference in how you cook a steak. I use one of the Holland Grills, which is indirect heat. A 1 1/4" thick KC Strip will take about 7 min/side and be as juicy med. rare as I like.
Now as a kid, I remember having steak every Sunday for noon meal. Mom would use the griddle and the broiler. The whole secret to her steaks was the plates that she warmed in the oven. Made the juices sizzle.
