If you want to keep the flames down you can season your grill with oil before hand or use a spray bottle with oil in it and spray it down prior to the steaks hitting the grill. The flames will flare initially, but the area will be greased when you put the steaks down and they won't stick either.
If you don't have the bottle, (like me) oil the steak but take some paper towel to the steak to absorb the excess oil so it's greased but not dripping, it's just the oil and fat that drips down to the coals / flames that causes the flareups.
that's worked for me anyways.
