A serious hot sear, but almost raw steak.
So ... It's literally "black & blue"
A blue steak, but with a hot sear to seal the juices in.

There was a reddit about this about a year ago: http://www.reddit.com/r/Cooking/comments/19jkbt/question_about_steak_cooked_chicago_style/

You need to cook the steak to whatever your desired temperature is, then char it on the outside with butter. Some people do this with a blow torch (which I don't have) or you can use an extremely hot cast iron pan.
