I have a question for those of you who BBQ.

Is it more common to have your steaks and other red meat products well done or rare? The reason I ask is because of the suggested cooking times for grilling. I'd rarely do a steak for more than 2 minutes on either side then let it rest at the back of the grill for a few minutes so that it's still nice and pink in the middle. I understand with pork and chicken cooking longer, but if your grill is nice and hot, even those shouldn't take 15 minutes to cook through.
