Pan Seared Steak

Last night was our 5 month anniversary so we decided to celebrate with a steak dinner a Big Bang Theory marathon. We tried a new way to cook, following Alton Brown's method which you can see here.

We love the show!!

coat the steaks in oil, season with
salt and pepper

put cast iron into oven and heat to 500*  then
sit on a hot burner set to high for 5 minutes.
It will smoke a lot.

Put them in and sear 30 sec each side.
Make sure oven fan is on and door or
window open so no alarms go off. 

Isn't that sear beautiful! 

Put into the oven, and cook 2 min on each side

Be sure to let them rest, then plate 

These were sooo good. Evenly cooked through and the sear was just perfect. The simple seasoning of salt and pepper really let the meat speak for itself and it was pretty tasty!

Let me know if you give this method a try or have had this somewhere.
