However you take your steak I'll bet that you don't want it as tough as leather.
Some of the best steaks I have had have been in the most unlikely looking grill rooms. One memorable steak meal was in a small west coast rural town with dingy lighting, grimy looking walls and plastic oil cloths on the tables that delivered a scrumptious finger licking meal that had us begging for more and determined to cook our own tender, tasty steak at home.

OXO Good Grips Salt and Pepper Grinder Set

Buy the best cut you can find - what ever your preference - we like fillet steak for tenderness, sirloin for flavor, T bone is also delicious and porterhouse is fine but sometimes slightly drier.
You may like to try them all to see which is your personal favorite.
It should look succulent, pink and moist and definitely not pale and dried out
Brush your steak with oil and season with salt and pepper
Heat a heavy pan until very hot - it should be so that a few drops of oil in it sizzle and set of blue smoke.
Place the steak in the pan or on a griddle like a Barbeque and listen for that sizzle - if it doesn't sizzle it is probably not hot enough and will broil and be tougher
The steak is ready to turn when you see drops of blood on the surface - test by pressing on the surface and see how much give there is.
Turn and cook a further 3 - 4 minutes

Look for Aged Steak,
Start with the best steak for best results
