Test Kitchen # 1623 did a 1 3/4 " steak in an interesting way.
Alton Brown did one a long time ago on and under a chimney starter
the TK used a very low oven then two skewers through the steaks ( so it did not come in contact with a grate ) on a chimney starter
roaring hot to get the crust on the top and bottom,.
If I could just find a decent 1 3/4 " flavorful strip steaks
here is the print version, they let you get a free peek at the pic :

I can't find a vid on the show where they do this # 1623
I do bet its close to perfect. as there are many other ways for close to perfect.
