**Searing is the process of browning the surfaces of meats, especially steaks. When done properly there are chemical reactions, the Maillard reaction and caramelization chief among them, that create savory compounds on the surface, and dry it a bit, to make a seductive crust. When it comes to steak, you want an even sear from edge to edge, no grill marks. All the tan meat in between the grill marks is undeveloped real estate. Grill marks are overrated, and in fact, undesirable on steak. Charcoal can reach a higher temperature than gas, thus creating the "seductive" crust that a nice piece of beef yearns for.
