Had them on sale at the store, cause I usually don’t ever purchase prime cuts. They’re maybe 1 1/8” max….probably only 1” for most though, so I don’t want to overcook them.

Option 1 - Weber hardwood charcoal. Probably only need a couple minutes on each side. Maybe even smear a little butter on the steaks while on the grill right before taking off?

Option 2 - oven then cast iron. Just be real quick with the cast iron? That might be too much for 1” steaks though. Might be well-done before I can get a crust.

Option 3 - cast iron only? Butter, no oil? Only a couple minutes each side, real simple.

Option 4 - I’m up for any suggestions

You could slice them as thin as you can and make cheesesteaks

1 or 3. the cast iron butter baste method would work well for thinner steak. I had a thin ribeye at a restaurant a few weeks ago that was one of the best I've had from a restaurant. Had me questioning my grocery purchases

Cast iron, cut off a small bit of exterior fat and render it down to create your oil. For that thin, probably only a minute on each side, throw some butter in there with garlic and rosemary lower the temp and baste for another minute on each side.

I like to dry my steaks with a paper towel and then salt them, put them in the fridge uncovered for about 2 hours, dab once or twice with a paper towel during that time, and then them them sit if you want to warm.

This gets the outside very dry and ready to sear. Some people are weird about leaving meat uncovered in the fridge but it works great.

Doing this especially on thinner cuts allows you to get the best sear possible before overcooking.

Nobody said this so far, but let the steaks out to come near room temperature prior to seasoning and cooking. If right out the fridge, there's a good chance even then the center will be cool/cold if you like your steaks cooked rare to medium rare.
