Plan for tonight's steak:
1. Let it sit out for an hour to get down to room temperature
2. Put salt on it and let it sit for another hour or so <---I am here
3. Get wood set up in the aluminum foil, get the grill ready
4. Brush truffle oil on the steak, no patting dry
5. Throw it on, smoke it, lid down and chimney open
6. Flip it a couple times
7. Take it off at 120ish, or as close as I can land to that
I feel like I'm forgetting something but yeah that's the plan

put it on a rack when you salt it so the water doesn't pool in the plate, if you are too poor to have a rack, put tit on 4 chop sticks

You gently pat a steak dry when you first open the package, think there was some miscommunication earlier.

I never pat a steak with anything, ever.
I salt it immediately and let it dry brine for at least 6 hours until the moisture gets drawn back in OR, if I want the steak sooner than that, I season it, bake it in a 200 degree oven until it hits 125, then sear it off.

Steak!
Was a quick grill, turned out well. Was not one with any prep so, not bad.

You don’t pat a steak. You tap it with your erect dick. Just for the connection.

This thread went full autistic. Just salt your steak and cook it on high heat to medium rare or a little below. The rest of this shit is just jerking off. Also, the type of charcoal doesn't really matter. The lump stuff is fine for grilling but not as good for smoking because it's harder to control heat because it's not uniform but other than that, charcoal's charcoal.

I'm great at cooking steak. That's why I know this is mostly just pretentious internet bullshit.

In the time of the internet~uber chefs - it suddenly was passe' to have any of "the grey ring" on a steak... so, chasing the perfec med rare dragon there are many many many fancy (and pretentious) ways to cook a steak... to achieve said "perfection"
Like look at my steak above, it is horrific. I apologize to those who threw up some in their mouth at the thought of having to eat some of that 1-2MM of OVERCOOKED DRY BURNED DANK "GRAY RING"
There is always a happy medium in all of this. I am being exaggerate and I get both sides... but just because you can sous vied your steak in butter and wyagu marrow for 5.291 hours then flash sear in a lazer honed 0.000000 micron finish full carbon steel pan, topped with (NOT TRUFFLE THATS 2019 BRO) fresh cut clean air hillside herb butter, hand churned from cows fed by buxom sweedish dairy maids..... does not mean a steak slapped with salt and pepper and grilled on up in the back yard is not also an option.

Theres so much untested bullshit in cooking lore that skepticism is valuable. Does that process you're insisting on actually make a difference? Pushback like Brutul is giving here is useful.
I've had great steaks cooked on a grill, and great steaks reverse seared. I've had great steaks seared in a pan and finished in the oven. All of these are valid approaches that can produce a great steak. There are some tradeoffs. I think reverse sear is easier to do right than just grilling it. Grilling on charcoal is art and takes constant vigilence and tending. But thats not really a big cost, what else are you gonna do while you're standing by the grill with a beer in hand?
I don't think its fair to say either method is wrong, but I also don't think reverse sear is just pretentious internet bullshit. It does make a consistently nice steak.
