Before Summer is over, why not enjoy a piece of meat at its purest? I'm talking about a perfectly grilled steak! Grilling steak may seem like a no-brainer: you season it and throw it on the barbie, but with a little extra care you can take your steak-making skills to a whole new level. I asked Chef Mark Richardson, of Seasons, the restaurant at The Four Seasons in San Francisco, to show us how it's done. His technique and tips for juicy pink medium rare steak after the jump.
How to Cook the Perfect Steak
Before Summer is over, why not enjoy a piece of meat at its purest?
When we fall back an hour Sunday we might also descend into a grumpy mood. While we gain an extra hour of sleep, the time change messes with our internal clock, leading to poor sleep, decreased energy, and depression. 
Last weekend I went up to my parents' house in Sonoma County, and I was excited to see it was officially Summer. Not only was the weather gorgeous, but my mom had decorated the kitchen for the season. She's swapped out her Spring table setting for a more tropical, sunny setting. Since the Fourth of July is around the corner, and it certainly calls for specific decorations, I'm wondering, do you change your kitchen's look ever so slightly to match the time of year?
Today marks the official first day of Fall. Do you feel a crispness in the air already? Here, in San Francisco, not so much, as we're going through a bit of a heat wave these days. However, every time we experience an official change of season, this get gets me to thinking about switching up the old hair color palette. So tell me: No matter the season, do you go lighter when the flowers start blooming in March, get your streak on when the warmer-weather rolls in, and/or go dramatically dark for the cooler months? Or is it just that you have your own hair color schedule?
