cooking steak help

[disappoint]

I think I may have to buy the baller thermometer. The reason I don't really want to buy prime is I've had some truly outstanding results from choice. Other times not. This last time I found a pack with some epic looking marbling but the juices were afk. I'm gonna try finding a thinner cut next time and actually rinse off the spice. I've been just dusting the excess off by hand. If it doesn't work I'm going thermometer, then prime.

Shouldn't the juices always be afk?
