How many put salt and pepper on their steak before they grill it. Perhaps even a seasoning like "Montreal Steak" gets shaken onto your steak as well. Allow me to advise some of you a method that will work better. Clean the meat using tap water, but be sure to dry it with a paper towel. Next, coat the meat with olive oil on all surfaces. The oil grabs and holds the salt, pepper, and seasonings better and also helps to seal in more of the natural flavor of the meat as you grill. Cooking times will vary from one grill to the next, but rare - medium - well done are easy if you are careful.

Some of us also like sauteed onions along with our steak. If your grill surface is large enough, use a cast iron skillet to fry those chopped onions in butter as the steaks cook. A tasty treat to go with that juicy hot steak.
