Reverse Sear Steak takes the guesswork out of cooking thick cuts of beef by starting in the oven and finishing with a quick sear in a hot pan. The result of using this method? A juicy, evenly cooked center with a mouthwatering crust.

Instructions
Place a wire rack (cooling rack) over a baking sheet.
Place your oven rack in the center part, and preheat it to 275 degrees fahrenheit (135 degrees celsius).
Dry the steak with a paper towel to make sure they are completely dry. Sprinkle half of the steak seasoning and half of the black pepper evenly on each side of the steak.
Place a 12" cast iron skillet into the bottom rack of the oven to get it nice and hot.
Put the steaks onto the wire rack, and place it into the preheated oven. Cook for 15-20 minutes depending on how thick they are, and your preferred level of doneness (chart in the post above).
Remove the steaks from the oven and set them aside. Take the cast iron skillet out of the oven and place it on the stove over medium high heat.
Add the steaks directly into the hot skillet and sear for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until a nice crust is formed.
(optional) Add the butter, garlic, and thyme to baste the steaks for added flavor.
Transfer the steaks onto a clean cutting board or plate, and allow them to rest for at least 10 minutes before cutting.
