Poking holes = bad, but that's been said already.
Sometimes I go with the following:
Cattle Boyz BBQ Sauce
Soy Sauce
Wostershire Sauce
A little Garlic
You should only turn a steak once on a grill, not three times (or more) ... the more you leave the meat alone, the better.
Get your grill to a constant temperature that you want to cook at before putting the meat on.
You can kind of tell how well the steak is cooked using the "meat" of your hand below the thumb.
When you have your hand resting, that is what a rare steak should feel like.
When you touch the tip of your forefinger to your thumb, that flesh below your thumb on your palm = medium rare
Middle finger to thumb = medium
Ring finger to thumb = medium well
Little finger to thumb = well done
Oh, and for heaven's sake, don't cook a steak well.
