    Beast,
    hot tubbing will give you a steak with an internal of about 100 when it hits the grill. good idea for a t-bone, as they are often raw near the bone if they go on cool.[p]a thick steak like that on the counter for an hour or more won't get much above 50 or 60, believe it or not.[p]if you do let it sit out, sprinkle it with salt all sides. nothing nefarious (bacteria) will grow in the presence of salt. the salt will not cause it to dry out... in fact, it brings water soluble proteins to the surface and those are what contribute to a great browning and sear.[p]enjoy it!
