My wife and I spent around 10 years looking for the best place to get a steak in Houston. We tried everywhere and the best steak we ever found was from a guy grilling them on the deck of a bar we used to go to. I asked him his secret. He told me it wasn’t a secret and that it was all in the quality of the meat. He used to be the meat picker for Taste of Texas back in the day and had tons of experience. As far as seasonings he only put teriyaki sauce on the steak while he was searing the first side followed by a quick shake of regular old Cajun seasoning. It was for real one of the best steaks I ever had. Good meat will taste great even if salt and pepper are your only seasonings. Learn to identify a good quality cut of meat.

I recently taught myself to cook steaks in a cast iron skillet and now I will never go back to grilling steaks for as long as I live.
