Take your hand and make a lose fist. touch the muscle right below your thumb, the bulge. Feel how lose it is? That is rare on a steak. Now slowly tighten it about have power that is medium; then squeeze as hard as you can that is well done.

Now using that method depending what you want cook your steak and poke it with your finger or spatula to get it to the same feeling as your fist. NEVER CUT A STEAK TO SEE IF IT IS DONE; you let all the blood out and make it a dry.

I would try putting your oven on broil place the steaks in a broiling pan on the meduim rack and use the method above flipping them once.

Just to be clear, I'm not grilling outside. So you suggest broiling inside the oven as opposed to frying/cooking stove top?

Good tip on not letting the blood run out.
