Total Time: 21 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 16 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 2 steaks, i prefer t-bones
• salt
• pepper
• olive oil

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 450.
• 2 if you have a large cast iron skillet, now is the time to use it. set it on the burner on high and heat it up for about 5 minutes. get it scary hot.
• 3 season your steaks - salt, pepper, oil -- or pretty much anything you like on your steak. if you are using filet mignon or an extremely thick steak, butterfly it before cooking.
• 4 toss your steaks in the skillet, get your oven fan on and turn your smoke detector off, do not touch those steaks for 3 minutes.
• 5 flip carefully, and no more touching for 3 minutes more.
• 6 move pan to the oven (make sure your pan is oven safe) -- if you have a digital meat thermometer, use it and let meat get to 165 or so. if you don't, i'd say 10 minutes in oven.
• 7 you are supposed to let a steak rest for 5 minutes or so after taking it out of the oven. i don't -- and it's never hurt me!
