There are some cool ways to make steak that would be pretty mouth watering and people would literally eat out of your hands. Not necessarily that you would require a grill to cook steak.

Experts generally agree that these four cuts are the best choices when you’re looking to impress or indulge. Chef Richard Chamberlain notes that a bone-in steak cooks more slowly, but the bone adds flavor to leaner cuts. You can get a T-bone or a Porterhouse or the boneless New York Strip or Rib-eye and make sure they are at least one inch thick.

It always pays to cook steak with a piping hot cooking surface.
