Thank you! My Dad gets the credit though, he mans the Weber in my neck of the woods and he knows just how to do it. We get our meat at Whole Foods here in Durham and they do have such wonderful cuts of steak ^

I've never seen blue cheese like that on top of a steak ever.. It looks like the goat cheese I had on my chicken breasts yesterday.. mmm

It's hard to tell with different pictures from different cameras, but this steak looks wonderful. Much better than the previous one. Cooked perfectly medium rare, with no 'cold spot' in the center. I would not send that back - ever. I would however have the blue cheese on my salad instead of the steak.

I pretty much always order medium-well knowing it will really come out medium.
I like it cooked but I do not mind a drop of pink on the inside.

I've often been quite surprised by Red Lobster. There is one in Florida near my pad there, and they have an early bird special before 5:30 PM for $8.99 - with drink. One of the options is an 8 oz. steak and it is very good, so I've been told. I have not eaten red meat in a long time. I usually opt for the special, but with fish. Hey, for that price? I can pretend I have blue hair and will be going to bed at 7 PM.
But when I did eat steak... RARE or MEDIUM RARE. Or MEDIUM. I was not that fussy! Just did not like Well Done.

I have a huge steak and I ate the steak last 2 days ago. When she talk with her friend who work at Safeway that they will make a huge steak for me. I haven't ate steak for a long time. It was so delicious! That's why I am very extremely hungry.
