Sure. First, cast iron pan is a must, since it has a high heat capacity because of its weight.
Your issue is the uneven distribution of heat, so use enough oil is important, at least as much to cover the bottom of the pan evenly.
Second thing is salt, if you salt it too early, it’s going to absorb the water from the meat and create wet spots, which would be steamed instead of seared. Dryness is the key here, you either want to salt the steak immediately before adding it to the shimmering oil, or you can salt it and leave it uncovered in the fridge for a couple of hours for the it to dry off.
