Rub it with kosher salt and refrigerate it, uncovered, for a day or two. Take it out of the fridge two or three hours before you're going to cook it so that it can come to room temperature. Pat it dry with paper towel and sear on the stovetop on a preheated HOT cast iron or other heavy oven-safe pan. Don't touch it for 8-10 minutes while it develops a sear. Flip it, let it sear for another 8 minutes, then put the entire thing into the preheated 375 degree oven. Maybe 20 minutes for medium rare. Let it sit for at least ten minutes after you remove it from the oven, slice it, and sere to four people.
My problem is that I like my steaks blue, and I don't have a 1200-degree broiler in which to do it properly. I never make (good) steak at home because it's not worth it for me to spend $30-50 on a raw piece of meat only to not be able to cook it to my tastes.
