The real truth is that for the most part, steaks turn out great as long as you season them and don't over cook them. The cut of meat is going to do the heavy lifting.
If I have the time, I will do my method. But other methods produce fantastic steaks. And to be honest, I cook steaks so rarely, that I'm usually planning ahead for it. And I want them to be as good as possible, because it's a treat. If I were cooking them more often, of probably do a reverse sear, or a grill.
Folks get really up in arms about cooking meat for some reason when you can do it in countless ways and achieve fantastic results. I don't understand the dogma.
I don't get it.
