Grilling without Marinades or Seasonings

Do any of you grill "straight, no chaser"?
I did a T-Bone last week like that, and I couldn't see any need for embellishment.

Depends on the meat and cut. Quality steaks get just kosher salt and pepper in our house.

Depends. Generous amount of salt for good quality cut of steaks. Let it sit for few hrs. Pat it dry with paper towel to get most of the moisture and excess salt off before going on the grill. Salt draws out some moisture but also retains good amount of moisture. I put pepper after as not to get it burned and give bitter after taste for me.

Salt and Pepper on steaks. As far as going with nothing at all, nope.

Definitely kosher salt. As far as searing a steak or other cut of meat I think it helps create a better crust because the grains are larger.

Like most said, S&P on my steaks. Tri-tip gets Suzie Q's (blend of garlic, S&P & parsley). Ribs & pork butt get a rub

I did a test once when smoking some ribs. I tried my rub and some commercial rubs. I left a couple bones with nothing. I was astonished by how good the ribs with no rub tasted.
I do rub meats before smoking. Steaks and burgers get salt and black pepper. But remember that the rub is not going to make the cook. I suppose a really bad rub could break it though.
I highly recommend trying the cut you're working on with no seasoning to see where you're starting. Then you can bettere gauge the result of your additions.

Hal,. Alton Brown has some YouTube videos on the net,and gives some pointers on salting red meat. Also does some cooking on a weber kettle. Might be worth a look.

Cover completely all sides with a thick layer of kosher salt. Let set for about 45 minutes at room temperature. Wash the salt off quickly under the tap to remove salt. Shake off extra water and grill adding a little fresh ground pepper. Amazing
I learned this at a place called Wolf Lodge in Courdalane (spell) Idaho. Best steak I've ever bought.

Just kosher salt on a thick prime NY strip, leave at room temp for 1 hour, sear three minutes each side direct on high and move to indirect till 125-130. pull from grill, top with patts of butter, rest for 10 minutes, slice. nothing better.
