Start the grill! Wikpedia says it best -- Barbecue, (also spelled barbeque, or abbreviated BBQ) is a method of cooking meat with the heat and hot gasses of a fire, the application of a vinegar-based sauce to meat, the end-result of cooking by this method, or a party that includes such food. Barbecue is usually cooked in an outdoor environment heated by the smoke of wood, or charcoal.

How many different ways can you cook a steak? Fire up the grill, toss the steak on, wait a few minutes, flip it over, wait a few more minutes. Get the plate, knife and fork. Don't forget the glass of red wine!
