Fold a paper towel in half until it is the size of your grill cleaning brush. Soak it with some oil. I suggest an oil with a high smoke point like an extra light olive oil or grape seed oil. Brush this over the cooking grates evenly. Yes, it will smoke some, but that's okay. As long as you don't let the grill sit at its highest temperature for too long before you start grilling the oil will still be there when the steaks go on.
Grilling Steaks - Step by Step
By Derrick Riches, About.com Guide
Good contact on the grill without letting your steak stick. This means that you need to make sure that your cooking surface is clean and oiled. It is best to oil the cooking grate while it is hot so while you are heating up the grill is a good time to put on a light coat of oil. The easiest way to this is with an oil soaked paper towel and the brush you use to clean your grates.
