If there is no obstacle problem you descend at .78/300kts.(or whatever for the aircraft type) at fixed thrust at MCT to OEI LRC altitude and then cruise at OEI LRC cruise speed. LRC gives you the range. If you have obstacles below you then reduce speed to best L/D ratio and descend at that speed till obstacles are cleared then descend to OEI LRC cruise altitude and follow the same procedure.
