Tried this last night and it was amazing. Unfortunately as there is no blood to indicate when to turn it over I over cooked it a bit. Still tasted great and so tender. I will be defiantly doing this again.

It is strange that the colour changes so much that it almost looks like pork rather than beef but I don't care if it tastes that good.

Great instrucatable to very easy to follow :)

Nice but this looks way overdone to me. I like my steaks quite rare.

The amount of time you cook it would be up to the individual persons preferences.
