Why do you think steak tastes better when it's not pan fried?

I understand why you'd like a charcoal barbie which adds something to the falavour but it sounds like you are just using some form of gas. What's the difference?

The taste is the same with either gas or charcoal but the advantage with gas is you can control the heat. 

The main differences between a pan fried steak and a grilled steak is the effect of the dripping fat over the flames which causes a taste you cannot get in a pan and the better charring effect a grill will give you which also provides more flavour.

Also, I assume you are not cooking your steak past medium rare.  If you are then I concede it doesnt matter how you cook it - you are ruining it anyway.

I also prefer the abolition of the death penalty.
Your lack of morality has been noted.
Doesn't my Continental steak preference bear more heavily on that?   :cry:
Yes. Ignore Neil.  He comes from the land of great steak and so does not care if people do not cook it properly so long as they buy it.  Those of us who do care about cooking steak properly have duly noted your failing in that regard.
A sufficiently good steak will defeat most attempts to ruin it through improper cooking.

A well done steak should be thrown in the trash no matter how good a cut it was originally.

Why do you prefer extended torture to swift oblivion?  Seems illiberal to me. :(

Yet somehow most people who are actually condemned to death seem to prefer staying alive...

Apparently, a preference shared by CC when it comes to his steaks. Alive and mooing.   :P

As long as they are seared properly.  That is the key.

Instinct clouds rational future planning.  Their wishes can't be trusted.

Then again maybe others respond differently to imprisonment than me. -_-

Obviously people don't understand the concept of searing - it should be on a large flat surface to change the proteins.  that is why a pan is needed.  After this it can be grilled, and the resultant fat dripping, etc.  The key, however, is the large surface to be seared at a very high heat.

One needs high heat to change the proteins.  Only someone reducated in a Communist Camp would believe one can only generate such heat from a pan.  Grilling has flames which directly heat the meat.  No interference from the pan is required.

40 years without properly-cooked steak, vs. choice of last meal.  ;)

OK, I'll give you that.  If you're eating your steak well done, you're probably a Philistine.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

This thread inspired me to pan fry a steak tonight.  It came out really well.  It's brown on the outside, pink just beneath the surface, and red-brown in the middle.  It's rare enough to be rare, but still perfectly chewable.  :licklips:
