Ingredients
Scale
- 2 thick cuts of steak
- 2 tablespoons softened butter or olive oil (butter will brown better)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat an iron skillet (or other oven safe skillet) over high heat until it is very hot. While it heats, rub butter or oil over the steaks, and sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper evenly over both sides.
- Place steaks in hot pan and cook about 2 minutes per side, just to sear the outside.
-
Turn off burner, and carefully transfer hot skillet to oven. Reduce oven temperature to 200 degrees F. Bake for 5 minutes, then carefully flip steaks over and continue baking until internal temperature reaches 120 degrees F for rare or 135 degrees for medium rare. About another 2-5 minutes depending on thickness.
-
Remove steaks to a plate to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing or serving.
