Tell me more about this, I've tried it before but I haven't perfected it. Usually end up with it being a bit too rubbery or dry because all the juice drips out onto the pan

Preaheat oven to 300. On my stove's "high" setting, I let the skillet get hot for about 1 min and add a few swirls of olive oil then add the steak. It sears on each side for about 2-2:30 mins. I then drop in a few garlic cloves and put in oven for about 6-7 mins and pull out and press it down with my fingers to see how firm it is. It usually takes 6-8 mins or so. After removing, I add a pat of butter to top of steak and a small pat into skillet and slide steak around for about 10 secs then put on a plate to rest for about 15 mins. Usually comes out perfect med rare/med on a 1.50" steak. As long as theres a good amount of fat in steak, it's always moist and never rubbery.

There are also alot of people that endorse searing each side and then flipping each min on the minute for approx 8-10 mins on medium heat until it's done to medium rare and it's cooked evenly from both sides. Gordon Ramsey has a vid on youtube of this.
