The key to a good steak is to get a good dry rub to put on it. Since I have been using dry rubs I will never go back to a marinade or barbecue sauce.
1. Put the rub all over the Steak about an hour before cooking.
2. Pull the steaks out of the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes. (Some good recipies say you should lightly brush the steak with extra virgin olive oil before putting on the Q)
3. Get the barbecue to medium/high heat. Steaks should sizzle when they hit the grill.
4. Put the steaks on for 2-2 1/2 minutes with lid down. Rotate half a turn and cook for another 2-2 1/2 minutes again lid down. (depending on thickness)
5. Flip them over and repeat step 4
6. Pull them off the grill and let sit for 5 minutes so the juices redistribute throughout steak. Also the steak continues to cook for these 5 minutes.
7. Perhaps put a pat of Garlic butter on top.
8. ENJOY!!
My favourite cuts are Ribeyes, Tenderloin and Top sirloin. Delicious!!.
Seriously, look into Dry Rubs and you will never go back. My girlfriend got me the Big book of Barbecuing and it has a few recipies for rubs in there. UNREAL!!

I pretty much B.B.Q. my steak the exact same way. I always lightly brush my steaks with a little extra virgin olive oil, I find it helps to flash sear them. And I agree, rub is the way to go.
