High temp cooking for steaks works great. I recently tested both a 900F degree pizza oven and a cast iron griddle. I paired them up for cooking fillets. I heated the oven and pan to about 650F, seared the steaks for 3 minutes, flipped and rotated them and cooked for another 3 minutes. I rested them in a tin foil tent for about ten minutes, tossed a pat of butter on each and they were absolutely fabulous. As good as any steakhouse meal we've ever had.
Using such a griddle on a stove and getting it hot hot hot can get similar results.

There are cheaper cast iron pans out there, but I can speak from experience that this particular one laughed off 650F with no issues.
