What's so complicated?

Gordon Ramsey: Season the steak, sear it in oil, add garlic and herbs, turn the steak on it's side and cook each side, add more oil, spoon the oil/butter over the steak, then remove the steak to rest.

Reverse sear: Season the steak. Cook on low temperature until 115 degrees internal temp(while doing nothing except enjoying an adult beverage or two), remove steak for resting for 15 minutes while cranking up the heat on the grill. Sear for 90 seconds on each side, remove, and serve.

I'm not sure which method you are calling more complicated...
