Equipment

  • oven-proof skillet
  • pastry brush
  • Tongs

Ingredients
  

  • 1 steak
  • Olive oil
  • Salt
  • Black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Let the steak come to room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Brush the steak on both sides with a thin layer of olive oil. Then generously coat the stake in salt and pepper.
  • Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
  • While the oven preheats, grab an oven-safe skillet and place it over high heat on the stove. Once everything is nice and warm, carefully place your steak in the skillet and let it sear. Cook the steak on each side for about 1 to 2 minutes undisturbed, until you have a nice brown crust on both sides.
  • Transfer the pan to the oven and cook until the steak reaches your desired donness. See the article above for recommended cooking times.
  • Remove the steak from the oven and place on a cutting board. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
