I use farm raised W Tn beef for starters. Its wayyy better than what I can get at grocery and its 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 in thick. To me that has A BUNCH to do with flavor. I do lightly rub evoo on them and sprinkle Montreal steak seasoning and that's all. I have a ceramic grill that I can get very hot so I like to cook steaks at around 6-700 degrees 2-3 min per side. I then set them off the direct heat and let the pat of butter melt on them before pulling. Let rest 3-5 min before cutting. If you are new to cooking world a therma pin is your best friend, but remember the steak is not a pin cushion, check it once, twice at most so you don't loose moisture.
