They have become quite affordable. I think the cheapest was around $250 when I was looking to try it.

When I don't grill, I generally follow his method but substitute with a little time under broiler and a little less time searing.

We tried this. Once. They were cooked just fine, and they tasted great. But our oven's overhead fan/filter setup couldn't keep up and I set off a few of the smoke alarms and it took about 30 minutes, in mid-winter, all all the downstairs windows and doors/doorwall open to get the smoke and the smell out. ;-)

650 cfm exhaust capacity. 3 speeds. Yeah baby! If you stand outside where the vent ports and put it on high, it nearly knocks you over! Seriously, it is crazy powerful!

Butter to break down fat? What kind of craziness is that? And why are you trying to do to "break down the fat". You buy highly marbled, high end steak to EAT the fat. Not break it down and fry it off.

My go to: Sous Vide the steak, sear it either on pan or on the grill. perfection.

This. Got a sous vide last year, and whether your finish on the grill or in a cast iron skillet, it's superior to anything else.

Ghee's probably better than butter, but butter always works. Salt, ghee/butter, then fresh pepper once it's off the grill.

We rarely do a kitchen reno these days without installing ridiculously overpowered hood fans at the request of the client. Many are north of 1200cfm. You could suck a small child up one of those. It's like some bizarre kitchen arms race.

Houses are getting so air tight that when you fire the hood fans up, you can actually see large windows flex inwards as the air is moved out of the room if there isn't a makeup air unit installed. Pretty funny stuff.

Flip steak every 15 or 30 secs for 5 mins in cast iron pan. Use butter also. Has never failed me.

So I tried the cast iron pan method yesterday. My wife, who likes her steaks well done said her steak was real good. I, who likes them rare, overcooked it, but I was not flipping it constantly either. I used butter after pulling the steak out of the grill and let it sit for 8 minutes. I must say that the steak was very juicy.
