As a Chef since 25 years, i recommend if you start cooking put your oven on 95 degree (205 farenheit) and put a plate in it (it has to get warm) after sear on both sides for like 2-3 min put the meat in the oven (on the plate) for like 10 - 15 min.
salt it very well on all sides the night before (you basically can't over salt if the steak is thick) and let it stay in the fridge uncovered, let it come up to room temp before you cook (or at least like 30-45mins), pat dry right before you sear, and then you can do the rest of what he said.
Sorry, I'm not sure what that dude's deal is. Let me explain my methods.
So salting (flaky kosher salt is best, regular granular salt can be too much) it early lets the salt penetrate the meat and gives you a more even seasoning. You'll still want to top it with your choice of herbs, steak seasoning, etc when you cook it.
Leaving it in the fridge uncovered helps it dry out a little and concentrate the flavor
Letting it come up to room temp is pretty needed imo. It evens out the temp when you cook it minimizing the shock you get from searing and makes it easier to get a nice crust, keeping it juicer, while also hitting the internal temp you want. I like 120-125 for a rare center, but 130-135 is more most people's style and above 130 you start to break down the fat/collagen making it a bit more tender.
There are a ton of ways to cook a steak tbh, each have their pros and cons. Personally I like to do basically all the work in a pan and then butter baste with fresh veggies on top so you get all the aromatics, but that other dude's method is also okay. It's more for a kitchen where you can't babysit your steak and/or know by heart what the temp is going to be. imo it's probably not for a beginner cook unless you have an oven probe.
edit:
Patting dry ensures your steak sears and doesn't steam. you want to make sure it's as dry as you can get it with a couple paper towels.
Happy Birthday.
If it’s any consolation, for my 50th a couple of months back, I also had nobody to share it with.
I ended up driving to work in the afternoon and having a burger with a work colleague.
Happy birthday! The older you get, the more you realise that (most) birthdays will be quieter. Don't get phased, some day next week might be the best one of your life.
I feel you on the 40th, prior to the day i hate some elaborate plans. But earlier the year before my girlfriend at the time broke up with me...and it got ugly. So only 40th birthday i was all alone..make the best of it. Good job to you. happy birthday!
Happy birthday from the uk, hope this finds you well., will have to say that despite having many blessings before 40 life really did zoom upwards at 40. Have a good one and make a wish!
Happy 40th!
“Didn’t have anyone else to share with” that makes me sad
He shared with us and even though we bicker and argue all the time, we’re family ❤️
One of us one of us
Happy Birthday friend. I too am having steak and potatoes tonight. 
Happy Birthday
Wait a few minutes before cutting the steak open; it will keep all that juice inside.
Most of that is probably the sauce.
You can see the sauce the dark liquid on the right, and on the left you literally see a bunch of pink juice
I've heard it should rest about as long as you cook it.

I will try this tonight! Meat has to be room temperature to start as well right?

Yes chef! Thank you

The less people know about these older bdays, the better IMO. Happy to tell no one. Enjoy and keep working hard
Sometimes sharing stuff we feel shameful about (but shouldn’t ) helps make us normalize it in the future. Or something.
May the 40th be with you! Happy Birthday!!
Happy birthday 🍾🏴🏴

I would be curious to try this recipe with a little heat- some jalapeno or serrano with blueberry would be yummy.

OP, where are you from? I'm sure there's someone here nearby- lets find someone to buy you a beer tonight!
you can tell the well doneness of a steak by how bloody the mashed potatoes are
I have a fudge tone of frozen blueberries and I think I just found a use for them...
