Ingredients

  • 2 thick cut Steaks ribeye, New York Strip, Porterhouse at least 1 1/2- 2 inches thick
  • 1 tablespoon Steak seasoning of choice add more seasoning to taste
  • 2 teaspoons Black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Butter unsalted to sear steaks
  • 2 heads Garlic to sear with steaks for flavor (optional)
  • 1 sprig Thyme to sear with steaks for flavor (optional)

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.
