I've always wanted to try cooking a frozen steak that way but never did. It makes abundant sense that you'd get a better sear. I'll try it with confidence the next chance I get.

Exactly, I think thats why it works so well. I know very high end steakhouses will blast raw steaks at like 1400F in broilers for a few mins which gets a nice crust an leaves inside medium rare. Obviously we don't have ovens that can do that, so this is a roundabout way to achieve the same result.

We usually reverse sear steaks. Even thawed, we are probably getting a worse sear because of the temperature thing.

Yes, I normally sous-vide steaks and then reverse sear. But agree that you can get some coloring that way, but you never get the thin crunchy layer of crust.
Doing the frozen steak trick results in a mouthfeel that is closer to "steakhouse".
