Directions: |
Directions:Remove steaks from refrigerator 2 hours before cooking time. Dry them with a paper towel.
Preheat oven to 400º with a rack set in the middle.
Heat the skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, 3-5 minutes.
Coat the bottom of the pan with 2 tsp. of the oil.
Liberally salt and pepper the steaks (and garlic powder).
Place the steaks in the pan and sear for 2 minutes on each side, flipping only once with tongs.
Transfer the steaks, still in the pan, to the oven and roast for roughly 8 to 9 minutes for 1 1/12 inch steaks to achieve medium-rare (125-130º). Less time for thinner steaks. Use a meat thermometer.
Let the stakes rest, under a tent of aluminum foil, for 5 minutes before serving. |

Once the steak is done, remove and tent. Add a splash of wine to the skillet and scrape up the bits over medium heat. Add a crushed garlic clove, 2-3 tablespoons of butter, a rosemary stem, and a couple of time stems. Stir for a minute or two and pour over the steak, or serve on the side.
