Good BBQ'ed steak rub or marinade?

[TideRoll]

I used to use equal mixture of the Moores/Dales type sauce and beer. The beer helped to tone down what I've always thought of as an overbearing flavor of the dark/salty marinade. Now, mostly I use salt, pepper, a bit of garlic, sometimes I use Lysanders dry rub if the mood hits me. I like to put on a pat of butter (real butter) and some salt and maybe a bit of garlic on right before I take it off the grill.
