Seared Steaks Finished in the Oven

Playing with my new Lodge cast iron skillet, I’ve been honing my steak cooking skills! I start by generously coating the steaks with flaked sea salt and fresh ground pepper. This helps get that yummy crust from the sear. So good!

Ingredients

• 2 four oz sirloin steaks
• flaked salt & fresh ground pepper
• 1/2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp butter
• 2 pads (1 tbsp each) of butter or herb butter

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Generously season steaks with salt and pepper.
3. Heat oil and 1 tbsp butter in a cast iron pan on medium high.
4. When the butter has fully melted, place the steaks in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side. Flip and cook 1 minute on the other side.
5. Then place in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. This should get them to a nice medium to medium rare, depending on the steak size. Check table below.
