(1) Start with the right cut of meat. It is impossible to create a great tasting steak on the grill if the meat you start out with is stringy or flavorless. Choose a cut that is graded Choice or above by the USDA and which is well-marbled with fat for maximum flavor. Sirloin and rib-eye are two good cuts to use for barbequing.
(2) Marinate well. Let your steak marinate for a few hours or overnight in your favorite BBQ sauce or spice blend. Taking your time with the marinade will ensure a much more flavorful steak.
(3) Get the grill hot. The most flavorful steaks are the ones that have been cooked for the shortest amount of time possible for them to be done. To achieve this, use the hottest grill that you can without burning the meat.
(4) Test if meat is done. One of the marks of an experienced griller is a feeling for when a cut of meat is done. Although you can cut into the meat to test if it is cooked enough, doing so too often will allow the juices and tenderness to escape. A good non-intrusive test for whether a steak is done is to poke it gently with your hand or with a cooking implement. It should have about as much give to it as the ball of your hand. Once the meat has reached this consistency, you can cut into it to see if it is cooked to perfection.
(5). Let it rest. Do not serve a steak straight off the grill. Allow it to rest for 5 to 10 minutes to let the flavor really sink in.
