Instructions
Place a cast iron skillet in oven.
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) with skillet in oven.
Generously season steaks with salt, pepper and grilling spices.
Once the oven is preheated, take skillet out and place on stovetop over medium heat.
Add two tablespoons of butter.
Immediately once butter is melted, place steaks onto pan and start timer for 5 minutes. Do not move steaks!
Once timer is complete, use tongs to flip steaks over and put pan into preheated oven.
Allow the steaks to cook for another 5 minutes.
Remove pan from oven and let meat rest for 3 minutes before cutting into it.
Notes
*Five minutes on each side will cook steak to about medium rare. Add one minute extra on each side for every temperature increase (ex. 6 minutes for medium, 7 for medium well).
