Grey steak when using cast ironskillet

Hey all,

I'm a novice when it comes to cooking with a cast iron skillet. I've been trying to recreate restaurant style steaks at home as best I can. However, whenever I cook my steaks I feel like they come out looking more grey than that beautiful brown/crusted look. I normally sear the steak 2min a side then put in the oven at 400f to finish off.

Am I not letting the pan get hot enough? Should I be putting the steaks under "broil" to finish them off to get that crust? Any help is appreciated.

TL;DR my steaks are grey and not brown and crusted. Help!
