Warm Up Your Meat
You should take your steaks out of the fridge and leave them on the counter for about 20 minutes before you cook them. This allows the steaks to come up to room temperature. If the steaks are too cold inside, they won't cook evenly leaving you with either the outside of the steak cooked just the way you want it, but the inside will be under cooked, or cooking the inside of the steak to your desired temperature and over cooking the outside of the steak.
