How do you like your steak?

I just cooked up a lovely Delmonico steak in a skillet on the stove. Ok, I admit, I fried it. I melted some butter, pre seasoned with accent (that’s right, pure MSG) and poked with a fork. I fried it for about six minutes and it’s exactly the shade of pink that I like. Then I took it out, added just a bit of water to the pan and cooked it down and poured the lot overtop. Mmmmm. How do y’all cook yours? Do you start with a particular cut? Like it rare? Medium? Well done?
I knew a guy who grilled his and stuck in bits of raw garlic. That was pretty good too.
