Knifing a tough cut of meat severs fibers that make it tough. It will also allow the marinade to penetrate better. For rare to medium rare you'll probably want about a 1" thick steak. After knifing a 1" thick steak will be about 3/4", so you'll need a high temperature and fast sear, so best to use a really hot skillet. Dry the meat thoroughly with a paper towel, season about 1 hour before cooking and leave it out at room temperature. If you can keep the sear to about 2-3 mins per side, you should wind up with a reasonably rare steak. Pull it off the heat source at about 130F internal temp measured with an instant read thermometer and let it rest for about 10 minutes and you should get medium rare.
