I don't really know how because we don't have a grill so we don't often. Ill make it sometimes in the slow cooker for fajitas.

Pan fry with butter!

On the grill.

We alternate between broiling it and pan frying it.

In the summer DH grills the steaks, in the winter, we either pan sear or bake in the oven. Our broiler function doesn't work though.

On the grill.

we have an outdoor grill, when it's too cold outside i use my calphalon grill pan.

Almost Always grill but tried the cast iron the other day and that was heavenly as well!

When it's too cold to grill (like tonight), I season it and pan fry it in a cast iron pan

For those of you who sear it, do you oil the cast iron skillet? And what's on the meat?

I always seem to get hit by flying hot oil when I turn it up super high... so I tend to cook it at a medium heat, and it doesn't taste as good.

If its a final cut like a rib eye steak or t-bone I like to age the steaks in the fridge uncovered on a rack over 1-2 days. Then I take it out to temper at room temp or above for at least an hour. Then into a pan for a quick sear and baste in whole butter if I'm going for crust, then a brief rest then eat. Or, if its all about the meat itself, I'll skip the butter and the pan and just go into a 225-250f oven and slow roast it without any sear.

Here's a pic of the pan method:

@sunny: I melt a bit of butter and then brush it on my steaks, complete with salt, pepper, and Mrs. Dash steak seasoning. Then I sear it on both sides in the cast iron skillet and put it in the oven to bake. I never use oil.
@sslm: I don't know, but I would think you could use a frying pan.

@sslm: I've used a plain ol' frying pan and it's worked perfectly! I use a liberal amount of butter and fry it over medium-high heat for about 8-9 minutes on each side for medium-rare. I just use salt and pepper as seasoning.
