Cooking Steak With a Cast Iron Skillet

Preheat the oven at 350 F .

Let the steak rest for 20 to 30 minutes before cooking .

So the meat comes closer to room temperature .

Pat dr the steak and seasoned with salt and pepper , add 1 to 2 tablespoons of cooking oil to a cast iron skillet over high heat .

We want to create a sear on both sides of the stake , place the steak into the hot cast iron pan .

It can get a little smoky .

So you may want to turn on a vent fan or open a window or door , add the garlic and rosemary .

If you use a high temperature cooking oil , there will be less smoke .

Let the steak cook for two minutes .

Flip the steak over and cook for another two minutes .

Add the butter spoon , the melted butter on top of the steak .

If you want to see the sides cook them for about 30 seconds on each side , using the tongue called the steak up , transfer the pans into the oven and let it cook for 4 to 5 minutes .

This will create a reddish pink center if you want it medium rare or rare , try 2 to 4 minutes .

For smaller leaner steaks , you want to keep it in the oven for no longer than two minutes , even less .

If you want to achieve medium rare , for larger fattier cuts , 4 to 6 minutes should be good .

If you are uncertain , you can check with the thermometer to get the internal temperature to the desired doneness .

Remove the pan from the oven and place a steak on a cutting board .

Let it rest for 7 to 10 minutes without cutting into it .

After you have let the steak rest , it is ready to be eaten .
