Inflation here? gas/grocery prices just continue to climb

Now thats fighting words.. people really use A1 and ketchup on steak?
But something really is wrong with me, because i like really that blackened taste..

I have a friend who likes his steak extremely rare. Like raw rare. He'll tell them to put in on the grill for 30 seconds, flip it over for 30 seconds, then put it on the plate. When he eats a steak, it looks like he murdered soomeone. I ask why he don't just go ahead and eat it raw...
Can get that char over a screaming hot bed of charcoal and still keep it edible. Medium rare really is the flavor sweet spot. I like the char too so I'll throw it directly over the coals for a couple minutes each side to char/sear then move it to the cold side of the grill to finish. One of these days I'm going to cook one cowboy style.....directly on the coals. Seems like a method I would llike
