Re: cooking steaks
1) buy a grill (one of those cheapie round Weber grills works just fine. Charcoal, not gas)
2) marinating depends on the cut of meat. If it is a tougher cut, you will want to add some sort of acid (lemon juice, coke, etc) to your marinade. Marinades should be simple but good. I cooked a few strip steaks the other night that turned out phenomenally. (It was more of a rub, though, than a marinade) Garlic salt, pepper, oregano, and greek seasoning, left on for about an hour before grilling.
3) get your grill nice and hot. The coals should just about all be ashy white. (usually takes about 15-30 minutes)
4) slap the steaks on the grill, and leave them alone for about 4.5-5 minutes. Flip once. Leave them alone for another 4.5-5 minutes. Grab a plate and pull them off the heat.
5) let the meat "rest" for at least 5 minutes.
6) pig out.
Seriously, get a grill. Grilling steaks on a Foreman outta be outlawed. (I know you don't have much choice)
