INGREDIENTS
PREPARATION
With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 450 °F (230 °C).
Rest steak on a plate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Pat steak dry and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet that goes to the oven, add the oil and preheat over high heat until it starts to smoke.
Reduce the heat slightly and cook the steak until browned, for about 4 minutes on each side.
Transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast until a thermometer inserted sideways into the steak reads the desired cooking temperature (see chart below). Then broil for the time required for the cooking temperature desired (see chard below)
Transfer steak into and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Serve with fries or mashed potatoes, or your favourite side dish.
