Oh, yeah, I forgot about the letting it get to room temp beforehand...but we never do that, umm, because we always forget to do that.
Glad it went so well. I like a good steak just as a steak. We try to buy good quality stuff, but eat less of it (pay more, eat less), as we then don't feel tempted to add too much "extra" (sauces and sides) to the meal. That's just us, trying to lose weight, but it works for us and has given us a better appreciation of the quality of the meat.
Cheers,
Marc
