Then lightly cover them in your choice of seasoning. A good way to do this is to get a tub or bowl, put some oil in and then add your herbs, garlic, pepper or whatever and dip the steak(s) in it.

Once you’ve done that put your steak(s) on the hottest part of your grill. Which should be centre left or centre right to seal them. Seal both sides and then move your stakes down the girll and further towards the centre (depending on how well you want to cook it/them).

You should really only turn your steak(s) 4 times and preferrably diaganolly (to get that nice diamond pattern). The finger testing is the best way to tell, you can cut into your stakes if your not sure but it doesnt look as nice then.

You should only let your stakes breathe for 2-5 minutes before consumption, thats long enough, anymore and your losing the juiceness.

If you have never seasoned your stakes, then your really should try a piece unseasoned the try a seasoned piece. The taste is so much more richer and succulent.

If you are going to pan-fry your stakes (incase you dont have a grill on hand). you should heat up your pan then pour some salt into the pan, lightly tossing it around then add a little oil, keep moving the oil round then wipe it away with some cloth. This will help stop your stakes and other items sticking (even for a nonstick pan). Then when ready add oil and seasoning and away you go.

As EW said before Red wine is a classic and goes well with any steak, but to get the best taste out of a steak you should taste it with a relatively dry mouth, so you can actually taste it. Drinking anything fizzy or fruity or with a strong aftertaste will deminish that important first taste.

Anyway I hope you all have some nice steaks.
