The way I prefer my steaks is to start with a piece of meat that is more roast than steak, do NOT salt it, light dab of olive oil, do them on a hot cast iron grill pan, seared/browned on each side for 3-5 minutes, then put in a 325° oven for about 10 minutes.
Let sit for 10 mins or until done resting (you can tell by pushing on the steak).
Unless you're using real charcoal, etc., you can't come close to the flavours you get with a nice hot grill pan.
