- Let the steaks rest on the counter to come up to room temperature at least 30 minutes before ready to cook
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Spray the steak lightly all over with olive oil, then season both side generously with kosher salt and black pepper.
- When the oven is ready, heat the a heavy skillet or cast iron skillet over high heat until the pan is very hot.
- When hot, add the steaks and cook, without moving for 2 1/2 minutes. Turn over and cook an additional 2 to 2-1/2 minutes.
Sear the sides of the steaks for about 1 minute so it’s browned all over.

Remove when the steaks read 125° F for Medium Rare, or 130° F for medium.
