That is the typical method. On a grill, get one side very hot, normal
hot the other side. Put the steak on to sear, flip to the other side,
then move it to the cooler side. We like medium rare. Time depends on
the thickness and temperature. I like to take it off the heat at 110
and let stand.

You can always put it back on the heat if under-cooked but once
overcooked you are screwed.
