Re: cooking steaks
This is the correct answer.
Generally, for steaks I prefer rubs to marinades. Marinades are okay for some cuts of meat, but for a strip steak or a filet, not need.
If you like some spice to it, find a recipe for (or buy) a cajun spice and rub it on the meat.
Also, for pan searing you can finish it off in the oven (450 degrees) after getting a nice crust on it. Basically a really hot skillet, sear the steaks on both sides (about 2-3 minutes per side) then finish in the oven -- 8 minutes for medium (adjust time up or down depending on how you like it done.)
Also, kosher salt works better on steaks than table salt.
