I decided to not cook but grill tonite and take the lazy way out... I had a shell steak, so I fired up the grill for the first time... and just about 25% of the way thru I ran out of propane... figures right? So I finished it in the oven under the broiler the way the restaurants would do, basting it in butter to cook the top part. It was a bit chewy in some areas, well done in other areas, and very rare yet in other places, yea, i messed it up... Don Malta would be pleased that I can cook gourmet but screw up the simplest of dishes...!!

PS - I don't know what people see in Peter Luger's "secret" steak sauce, its like watered down orange marmalade & horseradish, for me it really does nothing. A1 is better, but still, a great steak is fine on its own with fresh cracked pepper and maybe a bit of salt if its not seasoned?
