You can, of course, use global-set-key as well:

(global-set-key "\C-ot" '(lambda (arg) (interactive "p") (recenter 0)))

Formally creating a function is "better" if you'd like to take
 advantage of Emacs' self-documenting features:

(defun my-recenter (arg)
  "Puts current line to top of window."
  (interactive "p")
  (recenter 0) )
;defun;

(global-set-key "\e?" 'my-recenter)
