yes.

some salt on the outside at room temp for a short time. maybe some pepper. then sear in hot cast iron on both sides while oven is getting to temp. then into oven to cook the inside. the nice thing about cast iron is the pan goes right into the oven.

People keep saying BBQ, do you mean BBQ as in real BBQ or grill that people call BBQ? Grilling is much better suited to steak than barbecue, but something like a tri-tip roast or brisket is much better barbecued than grilled. Just asking for clarification.

BBQ has about 17 different meanings in the english language including both verbs and nouns. Pick the one you like. For me it usually means throw it on the Weber "BBQ" grill 4min per side, rest, carve, eat.

+1 on Eric’s suggestion. It’s easy and effective. It’s hard to beat the flavor of a steak seared on a hot iron griddle. You can get the inside done by sous vide or a slow oven, either methos gives acceptable results.

If I’m not mistaken Ruth’s Chris uses a 900 + degree broiler and their steaks are cooked right to my taste.

That's why I asked for clarification. Some do low and slow BBQ and that is just wrong for steaks.

To me Ruth's Chris aren't any better than the local supper club steaks that to justify their price. The Bread Basket did all theirs over an open charcoal pit and those were great steaks. Better yet is home over very hot charcoal.

Also when you eat out at many places the steaks are not cooked how you asked. Medium rare is usually closer to medium.
