Since every cut of steak is different from the other, you need to understand the different cuts available and their traits in order to know how to cook them the right way. To avoid overcooking, undercooking or cooking it the wrong way all together, it is good that you know the various cuts. Fat distribution in the cut is the best way to judge which cut to pick.
In order to achieve the desired results, you might need to know and understand different methods of cooking. This again depends on the different cuts you give your steak. There are many ways to cook steak in general. But when it comes to different cuts, each requires its own unique way of coking.
Maintain the flavor of the steak by seasoning it rather than masking it. Since steak is naturally flavorful, maintain this flavor other than masking it. Adding some more ingredients to the steak is fine, but these need to be chosen on their ability to complement the steak's flavor and not to mask it.
Always keep in mind that it is not right for you to poke your steak with a fork. You are advised to just turn it over, as poking destroys the texture of the steak. Do not therefore move the steak unless it is necessary.
It is quite easy to know if your steak is ready or not. You do this by gently pressing at the centre of the steak and observing their reaction. If the steak bounces back, then it is simply not ready. Your steak is ready only when you press and discover that it is firm. Move it from the grill or pan and give it about ten minutes to cool before cutting, to avoid loss of flavor in the form of juices.
