Sorry for derailing your thread. Can we get back to demanding pics of the women mentioned in the OP?

I've whored pics of my fiance many times here. Go look it up.

As for my friend, I don't feel comfortable doing that here.

How do you keep the first 2 steaks warm while cooking the last one? Oven on low?

I never use the cast iron method unless I'm just cooking one steak (or fit 2 smaller ones on the pan).

I'm pretty sure that you already know this Zeze but for the rest of the amateur hour that I've seen in this thread (I want my steak without any pink *shudder*) that actually wants to try a decent steak medium or preferably medium rare, don't forget to let the steak rest for at least 30 minutes after cooking it. I typically do this by putting it on a plate and tenting it with foil.

I used 3 pans with 3 stoves at once.

Personally, I never understood 'resting' the steak. Maybe I'm not getting it. But if I just let it sit, even with foil, the steak just gets cold. And I hate cold steaks.. especially when they get cold anyways by the time you finish right from cooking.

I eat it straight off of the fire. And they're super delicious anyways.

I could be remembering incorrectly about the time to rest, I typically let the steak rest while finishing cooking the rest of the meal which doesn't take 30 minutes. Probably closer to 5-10 minutes now that I really think about it.

gotta make up for the only 7 stalks as asparagus for 3 people

Yeah, someone is taking meat 'n' potatoes ('n' pie) too literally.

Indeeed. I pan sear (likewise cast iron) then move to uber hot oven to allow cooking without burning. Finally, rest for five minutes (likewise foil covered but also suspended somewhat at least on upturned dish edges or somesuch) to allow moisture to redistribute throughout rather than bursting out when cut and thus causing dryness. Of course cooking continues during rest so factor that into heating time. Typically, an average cut might be seared one minute per side and further heated two minutes per side.
