Perfect Oven-Roasted Steak

• 2  - boneless New York strip steaks
• 1 teaspoon - salt
• ¼ teaspoon - black pepper
• ½ teaspoon - garlic powder
• 1 Tbsp - extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 ½ teaspoon - butter

Instructions

1. 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.
2. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
3. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
4. 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.
5. Transfer the seared steaks to the prepared baking sheet.
6. 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.
7. Check to see that steaks are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
8. Allow steaks to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
