Instructions

Make marinade: Whisk together all the ingredients for the marinade variation you choose.
Marinate the steaks: Place the steaks and marinade in a covered glass dish or Ziploc bag. Marinade for an hour at room temperature or up to 12 hours in the fridge. Remove steaks from the fridge 20-30 minutes before cooking.
Preheat BBQ: Preheat the BBQ on high until heated to 450-500F.
Prep steaks to grill: Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat them down with paper towels. Either oil the grill or the steaks. Season steaks with salt and pepper.
Grill: Grill steaks to your preference. Medium has an internal temperature of 140F (approx. 4 min per side for a 1 inch thick steak). Rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

The marinade recipes are for 1 lb of meat which is approx. 2 average size steaks. Just scale up for a larger quantity of meat.
A good steak starts with good quality meat. Buy locally if possible or try out a quality delivery service: ButcherBox (US) or truLOCAL (Canada)

Tips:

Remove steaks from the fridge 20-30 minutes before grilling for more even cooking.
Grill steaks over high heat (450-500F grill).
Pull steaks off grill 5 F before desired doneness since temperature will continue to rise a bit while resting. See chart in the post.
Use a digital meat thermometer to ensure perfectly cooked steaks. The Thermapen is my favorite.
Allow steaks to rest (transfer grilled steaks to a cutting board or plate, tent loosely with foil and rest for 5 min to allow juices to redistribute).
