The key to cooking a perfect steak includes using plenty of seasoning, turning it often to get an even char, and not worrying about crosshatching. If the steak has a fat cap, it's important to render the fat properly.

When I make steaks, I constantly move them around and flip often. My wife plops a steak down and forgets about it, then flips it over. Without fail, she always asks why my steaks come out better and I tell her clearly that I flip often, put the gristlier parts over the hottest heat without letting them char, explain the benefits of a reverse sear for her medium to well-done taste, etc etc and the next time she cooks a steak she plops it down and leaves it sitting untouched until its time to flip. She's great at cooking a lot of things that I suck at, but red meat is her self inflicted kryptonite. Her Dad taught her this one old school method, and she will not waver from it. It drives me nuts, because steak is so easy.

Ya know, its nice to hear that chefs are flipping their steaks a few times. (I had a hang up about that for quite a while) I've always done it because I figured I didnt know enough about what I was doing. Thought they could be better if I didnt.

Mmm looks good, I got some New York Strip steak for dinner tonight I picked up from the butcher shop I work at. My favorite steaks are butter steaks and ribeyes.

You didn't identify the spinalis dorsi. Or point out the maillard reaction on the meat.. this is far from the platonic ideal

“You know more about steak than us can you tell us some tips on cooking”

“Yes turn it often”
