What are your secrets to boiling red beans perfectly?

Soak overnight, discard soaking water.

Beans go in a thick-walled pot, dutch oven, or similar. Add a smoked/cured pork product, like a ham bone, smoked hock or feet, chunk of country-style ham, etc. Use a good quality homemade stock for the liquid. Bay leaves, thyme, fresh ground pepper.
Low heat. Very gentle simmer until cooked to perfection. Taste & adjust seasoning as needed. A spash of vinegar or lemon juice is often really nice to balance out the richness.

If you're in a hurry you can use a pressure cooker; that takes about 1/3 the time compared to doing it with an open pot.

Soak 18+ hours, discard soaking water, add only some herbs (bay leaf, bunch of thyme, whatever you have) gently simmer until cooked. If you season them in the beggining, they will be hard af.

Venison and pork sausage, minced bell pepper and onion, Cajun seasoning all browned up nicely with a good fond in the pressure cooker. Add your broth or liquid, deglaze, and your good to go in the pressure cooker.
