the problem with a thermometer is that with the Ducasse method i'm not putting the steak in the oven after.
so if i stick a thermometer in the steak after, say, cooking one side on the stove and it tells me mid-rare, well that does me no good because then only one side is seared.
i can't just stop then.
i'm gonna lower the heat a little and do less on each side. i really like the sear i get with Ducasse and i like the flavor more than just sear/oven method, probably because of all the butter that i end up putting on the steak.
