Ingredients:
2 steaks
kosher salt
fresh coarse ground black pepper
olive oil

Directions:
ADDITIONAL ITEMS – Cast Iron Skillet, Spatula or Tongs.
Bring your 1 to 2 inch steaks to room temperature and use a clean cloth to remove excess moisture.
Move oven rack 6 inches from heating element.
Pre-heat oven and skillet by setting the oven to broiler for 15 to 20 minutes.
Rub steaks with olive oil, kosher salt and coarsely ground pepper. NOTE: Use any seasonings of your choice.
Once the skillet is pre-heated, pull out the oven rack and carefully lay steaks on the skillet. NOTE: Pan is Extermely Hot and will spit and splatter.
Close oven and sear the steaks for 3 minutes on one side, turn and sear the opposite side for 3 minutes. DO NOT USE A FORK TO TURN STEAKS!
Once seared, set the oven to 500F and cook using this Time Chart. Turn steaks half way through the remaining cooking time.
Rare (120-130F)1″ 0-1 minute, 1 1/4″ 2-3 minute, 1 3/4″ 4-5 minute

Remove steaks from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
Serving on warm plates is recommended to maintain meat temperature.
I can not stress this tip enough — Keep the fork in the drawer until ready to eat. Never pierce the meat during cooking.
