Are you doing it tonight or do you have a little time.

If you have the time, salt overnight, then freeze, unwrapped on parchment at least 30 minutes.

Cast iron high heat with enough high smoke point oil to come up half the thickness of the cut when placed in skillet.

Straight from freezer to skillet. Get good char on both sides, then transfer to oven until interior reaches desired temp.

Tonight, unfrozen. So high heat and about how long each side, steaks are about 3/4" thick.

For me, given those parameters, I'd give a good forking to it and a splash/douse of liquid smoke, sit 1/2 hour with salt on surface, go ahead and make that freezer time [again open on parchment, don't want condensation on surface when it goes in the oil]. same oil setup, but go straight from skillet to rest, no oven. Skillet time determined by observed char. But I'm a rare-->medium rare guy.

I'm good with most of this, but I don't really agree with that much oil. Sounds like you might as well deep fry it. And at least on my oven, I'd have fire on oil of I heated on high.

The freezing for a little bit is cooking like a boss, though. Great way to get an outstanding crust without over cooking the meat.

I also don't tend to put mine in the oven unless I'm dealing with a particularly thick steak. Most of what I get at the grocery store can be completed in the pan to med rare.

Never would have thought liquid smoke, steaks are in the freezer, thinking 2.5 minutes each side? I tend to be a timer guy, don't quite understand the palm / firmness test for doneness.

First off, I should clarify that I crust steaks in a dutch oven, not a shallow skillet. My use of 'skillet' was an imprecise continuation of the conversation.

That makes the oil decision one of heat capacity and not having to char the sides of the steak separately.
