I like to use Royal Oak Lump Charcoal and a small cast iron Hibachi grill
The 3 ingredients are Kosher Salt, Fresh cracked black pepper and 1 pat of butter for each steak...
I always give steaks 30-45 mins at room temp to warm up a little but the colder the steak the better the medium rare steak is going to be.
Place steak on hot grill and do nothing until it's time to turn over...
Turn steak over, add cracked pepper and 1 pat of butter and thats it..
Perfect every time

I do all of that but putting the salt on that far ahead of time. Salt draws water to it so theoretically you are drawing water out of the steak doing that for all those hours. Or at least that's what I've been told. I put it on 3-5 minutes before they hit the grill. Other than that I do the same three things with the salt, pepper and butter to finish it off.
