ehh, I guess somewhat, more more of an actual result driven technique. The steak will cook 'properly' - the oil helps drive the grate to a temp that'll get you your good grill marks, which (at the end of the grilling) will get you your best result. Don't be bashful w/ salt. I don't like Lawry's Seasoned salt, however - we have really good farmers markets here, they carry the house seasoned salt and it's phenomenal - mostly because it's more seasoning than salt, Lawry's is the other way around. Celery Seed Powder and garlic work well, but please salt good, especially if it's a thicker slice.
