That is an awesome tip. Thanks.

I've experimened with different techniques of cooking steaks-sometimes they are expensive experiments.

From what I've read and what has seemed to work best for me is the technique you talk about-Heat the grill 10-15 minutes, sear both sides, turn down the heat to medium, and cook to desired doneness(turning once more). Then let the meat rest.
I haven't quite perfected my technique bit I'm getting better.
