Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 T-bone steak at least 1.5 inches thick
  • Coarse salt
  • Cracked black pepper
  • 2 tbsp of olive oil for the skillet
  • Optional: garlic and herb butter for finishing

Method
 

  1. Prep the Steak: Let your steak sit at room temperature for 30-40 minutes before cooking.
  2. Preheat Oven and Skillet: Heat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Warm a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat on the stove, adding olive oil.
  3. Season the Steak: Generously season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper.
  4. Sear the Steak: Sear the steak in the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side to create a crust.
  5. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for about 10 minutes for medium-rare, but use a meat thermometer to check for your preferred doneness (130-135°F for medium-rare).
  6. Rest the Steak: Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes, covered with foil.
  7. Carve and Serve: Slice the meat off the bone, then cut against the grain into slices. Serve immediately, optionally topping with a pat of garlic and herb butter.

Notes

For the best flavor, choose a steak with good marbling. Adjust cooking times based on the thickness of your steak and desired doneness. Always use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
