#1 Steak Recipe
A very delicious, tender steak. Seasoned with just salt and pepper!
- 2 Steaks Filet Mignon or great quality steak
- Oil Peanut
- Salt & Pepper Amount desired
- Butter Amount desired
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and bring them to room temperature. Place your cast iron skillet in the cold oven and pre-heat it to 500 degrees. Rub your steaks with oil. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Once the oven has reached 500 degrees remove the skillet and place it on a burner set at high heat. Let the skillet set for 3-4 minutes. Once the skillet is ready, place the steaks in the middle of the hot, dry skillet.Let it sear for 3-4 minutes without touching! Then flip and sear the other side. (You are going for a very well-seared brown crust). It will look black and burned but it isn't.Place the skillet back in the oven at 500 degrees. For medium, allow steaks to cook for an additional four minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 140 - 145 degrees.(Adjust time by one to two minutes less for rare or more for well done).Remove the steaks, place on platter and add the butter (if using) to each steak. Allow steaks to rest for 5 minutes. (I like to use garlic butter, butter and or sauteed mushrooms).Enjoy!!
