Both a skillet and the grill will work. The sear just hardens/cooks the very outside of the meat to keep the juice/flavors in. Your broiler in your oven is actually the same as your grill, just upside down and doesn't let the fat drain away. With that said your always going to get a different, softer, sear when using a skillet. Not that the meat isn't actually seared shut it just doesn't have that crispy crust....which I love....around the meat.

I like it both ways. When I use a skillet and the broiler, as soon as I pull the steaks out of the oven I use the juices along with butter, white wine, cream and some mushrooms for a wonderful sauce that only takes about a minute to make.
