I just bought a new bbq, the steak has to be burned on the outside and pink and juicy on the inside a little over an inch thick and weight min.one pound. I like it when it flares and I will pour a little oil for more flames, a baked potato, sour cream and that's it. No salads but a good red wine, Nuits-Saint-George or Pommard.

OK I love this trick lets say someone wants there steak a little more cooked than the other person. What I do is take the steak that is not going to be as well done and place it on top of the other one. Than when I think it's time I'll take the top steak off of the one under it and start cooking it.

it was ok it was just a bit dry so like buds says let it marinate in olive oil but for 3 hours the cook the steak. Hope this helps! :)

I LOVE Ribeye steak.. I always cook on a gas grill. Here is how I do it. I marinate my steak with a litle olive oil. I also use dry rub from McCormick. I let it marinate for a day or 2. I let the steak come to room temp for about 45 min. Then I turn on the grill. Let it get to 375 F. Put on the steak for about 3 min, turn sideways so grill marks get a good look. I turn over then do the same as the first side. I use allumininum foil. after the 4 min mark I place on a plate with alluminum foil and cover. First placing 2 to 3 slices of real butter on the top. Once you have your sides ready on the plate, you are ready to put the steak on and drench with the juices. Hope this helps. Happy Grilling.

This is the worst video to watch if you want to cook a steak. Unless you like dry, well done steak ignore most of this video.
