FYI: I have followed this video to the letter a couple of times. If you don't have good ventilation in your home, please beware: It will get VERY, VERY, smokey.

@vvindstalker I won't flame you no pun intended) like some of these other guys. But I do know that if you order a "well done" steak in most restaurants, they just give you the worst cut of meat they have on hand. They know that over cooking will just ruin the meat, so they save the good cuts for someone who will be able to tell the difference.

Well done is worst done. I followed his instructions and got one of the best steaks I've ever had on the first try.
