IMHO, any steak cooked beyond medium rare is a crime! I like to bring my steaks to room temp, rub on some salt and pepper, show it to the grill and eat it! My ideal steak moos and tries to get away when I stab it with a fork.

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

Chef Ramsey hs a way of checking for doneness:

Press your fingers to your cheek, your chin and your forehead.

Cheek = rare
chin = medium rare
forehead = well done

Just press on the steak- it will give in just like your cheek/chin/forehead.

The method I use is to time the cooking and cook the same thickness of meat over high heat, for an inch and a half thick Porterhouse I cook on one side for five minutes and three on the other for rare. Depending on the marbling of the meat you might want to cook for a shorter time on the first side.

Here's another method:
