I call BS on the "flip once" comments. If you want the juices to be lost, fine, flip once.

Otherwise, at 400 degrees, sear for two minutes per side, then about 5 minutes per side again for medium tenderness (for steaks that are about an inch thick or so.) If you rotate the steaks 90 degrees after the initial two flips to get your nice cross pattern. So, two minutes, flip right-to-left, two more minutes, rotate 90 degrees so that the initial marks are now perpendicular to the grill, go five more minutes, flip right-to-left, cook another five minutes and you will have a very, very tasty and juicy steak, done medium to perfection with a nice cross pattern of grill marks.

I didn't get this big by not being able to BBQ very well!
