Answers:
Charcoal grill with a cover, i.e. a Weber? You need quality tools if you expect quality results.
First start off with a really good piece of meat, one with marbling, such as a t-bone or Delmonico (a.k.a. rib eye). The marbling is fat, which add flavor and moisture to the steak.
Get the grill really really hot, I get mine up to 600 degrees.
Put the steak on, after one minute rotate the steak 90 degrees, but don't flip it, this makes the cool grill marks. When you flip it is a function of how thick the steak is. For a steak about 1" thick, flip it after another 45 seconds to a minute. Repeat the above for the other side of the steak. You have to develop a feel for the right time to turn it.
Now, shut all the vents on your grill, put the cover on and let it sit for 3 minutes to achieve medium rare. Take the steak off the grill and let it rest for a few minutes at room temperature before you cut it.
