So, good people of misc, how to do you like meat? Seasonings, marinades, and whatnot? I'm a medium rare guy myself. But what about you?
I'm a foodie who hangs out with a bunch of foodies and chefs (including one who works at a smokery!), so we do a wide and ever-expanding variety of meats when we grill. One thing we rarely do is steak, unless you're talking skirt steak or london broil and such, which can be shared and dressed up. All beef is always cooked to rare or mid-rare. Anything beyond that is considered a massive failure and may be fed to the dog.
One of the old grilling standbys in my circle is beer can chicken, which is pretty self-explanatory:

And, what's your beverage of choice while grilling up some tasty meat?
Beer. I generally start with a couple good belgians and then move down to some refreshing Natty Boh.

I have to disagree. The right briquettes or wood chips do wonders even for a superior cut of meat. I'm also a big fan of smokers.
Now, this would seem the perfect opportunity to introduce y'all to the Holiday That Time Forgot. May I suggest
Meat Week?
And so it was that in the year of our meat, 2005, as ordained by the patron saint Sonny and materialized by the humble prophets Erni and Chris, that Meat Week descended from the cosmos and took its rightful place on the throne as The Holiday That Time Forgot. Welcome to It.
