Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
Step
2 mins
Allow steaks to rest at room temperature for 20 minutes. This ensures even cooking. Generously season both sides with coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)
03
Step
3 mins
Heat canola oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer and almost smoke. This is crucial for achieving a good sear. (3 minutes)
04
Step
8 mins
Carefully place steaks in the hot skillet. Sear undisturbed for 3-4 minutes per side, until a rich, dark crust forms. (8 minutes)
05
Step
7 mins
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes for medium-rare, or until your desired level of doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy. (7 minutes)
06
Step
10 mins
Remove skillet from the oven and transfer steaks to a platter. Tent loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. (10 minutes)
07
Step
2 mins
While the steaks are resting, combine softened butter and soy sauce in a small bowl, mixing until smooth. (2 minutes)
08
Step
0 mins
Serve the steaks immediately, topped with the butter-soy sauce mixture. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
For optimal results, ensure your cast-iron skillet is well-seasoned.
Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of your steaks and your preferred level of doneness. A meat thermometer is your best friend!
Experiment with different flavor combinations in the butter sauce. Garlic, herbs, or a touch of red pepper flakes can add a unique twist.
Resting the steaks is paramount for tenderness and flavor. Don't skip this crucial step!
