As hot as possible, but depending on how long you intend to cook it.=20
Yes, you want to cook it as quickly as possible.  You get the browning
reactions on the outside -- and all the deliciousness that comes with
that -- without drying out the meat.

To my taste, a 2.5cm (inch) steak should be 5mm brown on each side, then
blood-red right in the centre, which is probably closer to "rare" than
"blue".  Many people find this too bloody.

There's stuff above here
