I've found that if you must fry a steak, keeping it as dry as possible gives
the best results. Marinades or Sauces will steam the steak.

I do like a nice strip steak or filet quickly seared in a hot hot pan (either
cast iron or a heavy stainless steel) then finished in the oven for a few
minutes to the desired doneness. The surface is caramelized and crunchy with a
nice juicy pink interior. Just a generous dousing of salt and pepper before
tossing in the pan is all the seasoning I need. But if you like a rub - a good
blackened seasoning will give it additional flavor.

Oh make sure your hood fan is running and your windows are open when searing
your steak. It does get a bit smokey.
