Yes, it is true if you want the steak to cook evenly... You are going to want to let them come to room temp (this should take about 30 - 45 minutes) out in the open air... Go ahead and season them right before you toss them on the grill... My suggestion is just a little salt and some cracked black pepper...
Before it hits the heat. Take the steak out of the refrigerator 10 minutes before you start cooking. This will take a little of the cold out of the meat allowing it to cook evenly, brown perfectly and stop it from becoming tough. Oil the steak instead of the pan or the barbecue.
