Congrats on tackling the steak dilemna- I had similar past experiences with it and was as happy to get confidence this week as get a fabulous recipe.

My husband was holding the camera and said, "Shouldn't I be holding the fire extinguisher?"

I barely let it cool as it is the pan heat that warms the alcohol so it can ignite its fumes. Another thing that sometimes happens is there is a lot of moisture in the steak that comes out into the pan... I hope you give it another try sometime. The 'fireball' is a lot of fun.
