Hey guys I have recently started marinating beef, steak, and pork. Very new to it all but find it fun. Any tips/suggestions?

Get StartedThis is gonna sound stupid but exactly is a rub? Some type of seasoning that you rub into the meat?
Hate you guys lol
What goes into a dry rub?
* Reason I ask all these questions is because I don't cook. Matter of fact like two years ago I finally successfully made mashed potatoes.
Speaking of steak, salt, and pepper, I keep a box of Morton's salt around, the coarse stuff. Pour a layer of salt over the steak. Completely cover both sides; so much salt it takes several seconds for the salt to soak up enough juice to stick. Don't just sprinkle it on. Pat it on with your hand. Like 1/16" layer over the whole thing. Let it sit while you get the grill going and get other stuff ready (30 min-1hr or so). Then rinse off the salt and add pepper to taste to both sides. After grilling, don't cut into the steaks to check doneness. Let them sit 5 minutes before cutting into them.
To add to this, let your meat warm up a bit. Don't take it out of the fridge, and just throw it on a grill.
I heat the grill and almost sear both sides of the meat(steak), then turn the heat down once you have cauterized the outside fibers. This will lock the juice in. Never cut or penetrate the meat, if you do you have lost flavor you will never get back...
