My grill will go to 500 with a quickness.
What's this rotation prior to flip thing?

:D
sounds more complicated than it is.

basically, 'de-glazing' a pan is a fancy way to say using liquid to remove all the goodies from when the steak was cooking. You've probably 'de-glazed' pans without knowing it when cleaning up / cleaning a skillet etc with water.

the cast iron in this case was still hot; so the butter and blue cheese crumbles melt; and the brandy/bourbon/cognac etc acts in the same way water does when you're cleaning stuff. brings up all the grease/flavor/ etc that the steak left behind.

spoon out all that goodness into a little ramaken; dip your meat ( no homo) as preferred and enjoy.

Damn. It's 7 in the morning and I want a steak.

Leaving them out for 20 minutes doesn't do jack to the internal temperature.

I usually cook steaks in an iron skillet on the stove. Lightly rub each steak with canola oil or another high smoke point oil, season lightly with kosher salt and black pepper. Sear each side at the highest heat you can get. Flip after 30 seconds, then toss the whole pan into a 500 degree oven. Flip the steak again after 2 minutes in the oven and heat for another two minutes. Good enough for a well seared golden brown crust and medium rare finish.

You can probably do something similar on the grill. Same prep with oil and salt/pepper, let the grill get up to a high temp, do the searing, then kick down the temp some to let the inside come up to temp.

are you using a fatty cut? a well marbled cut?

fat = flavor

i like a thick edge of fat on my steaks, get that fat crispy and burnt on the outside, soft and delicious inside

salt liberally, both sides, before throwing on hot ass grill

flip

eat

it's mostly about the quality of the meat/cut

Vailpass -

this is basically what I did to a 'T'.

Always marbled. I go to a butcher, pay a little more for a good cut.

Grill not hot enough to make grill marks = tough shitty steaks

then you're doing it right

Thank you! I'm gonna get this right. But I'm a little intimidated.

Tell her that, she got pissed last night ;)
