The two ways I prepare my steaks have basically already been mentioned. Quite often I'll do a light teriyaki marinade, but never with the store bought stuff. By light I mean marinade for about 2 hours, 3 hours max. I find you still primarily get the natural beef flavour, with a subtle teriyaki flavour. I don't usually measure when I make my marinade, I do it to taste (of course I know basically the right ingredient ratio to start with, then add extra as needed).
For a couple decent sized T-bones I'll so something like:
2 cups soya sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon ginger powder
2 tablespoons olive oil
The other way I like my steak, is just salt and fresh cracked pepper. It's quick, easy and, provided you have a good cut, tastes the best. From what I've read so far, there seems to be quite a split regarding how people like their steak cooked. Myself, I prefer a rare to medium rare steak.
