Instructions

Season the steaks on both sides with the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Allow them to rest at room temperature while the oven preheats.

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

Set a large skillet over high heat and add the oil and butter. Once the oil is very hot and shimmering, add the steaks. Sear steaks for 1 minute without moving. Flip and sear the other side for 45 seconds longer.

Transfer the seared steaks to the prepared baking sheet.

Roast the steaks on middle rack of oven until they reach desired level of doneness, 9-12 minutes. Allow the meat to reach an internal temperature of at least 130°F for a medium steak.

Check to see that steaks are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Allow steaks to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Meat Temperature Prep 🌡️
Allow steaks to come to room temperature for 30-45 minutes before cooking to ensure even heat distribution and more consistent doneness.
Oil and Seasoning Technique 🧂
Pat steaks completely dry with paper towels before applying olive oil and seasonings to achieve a perfect sear and crispy exterior.
Cast Iron Magic 🍳
Use a cast iron skillet for superior heat retention and a beautifully caramelized crust when transitioning from stovetop to oven.
Butter Basting Trick 🧈
During the last few minutes of cooking, add a pat of butter and baste the steak to enhance flavor and create a rich, glossy finish.
Resting Rack Technique 🥩
Let the steak rest on a wire rack instead of a flat surface to prevent steam buildup and maintain the crispy exterior.
