How do YOU make a great steak

The idea that good chefs don't marinate steaks is BS. There are plenty of good quality restaurants and great chefs that use marinades to enrich and enhance the flavor. The bottom line is that you should make food the way it tastes best to you. It's a matter of personal taste. There is nothing wrong with marinating a steak and there is nothing wrong with NOT marinating a steak.

So I'm guessing you'd be OK with somebody who liked 'em thrown under a bus, and run over a few times on ashphalt?

Seals in the flavor, and the oven heats the steak more evenly.

A strip is a good choice. Personally, I usually use the Alton Brown method, however I do grill on the charcoal barbie when the weather is nice. Usually I reserve the marinades for lesser cuts, but one I use is garlic, olive oil, and a sprig of fresh rosemary. Salt and pepper the sucker before putting in over the fire. That works.

If you do decide to bbq, try a hard wood instead of charcoal. It imparts a nice smokey flavor.
