i think one of the most important components of a great steak is the heat you can cook it at. I never had a really good grill until last year when i got one for my bday (thanks baby ) and the difference is night and day. I cook my steaks at 600 to 700 degrees, 4 mins to a side and flip them once, and its done. Almost every steak i cook is better than what i get in all but the best restaurant.
