Oven-Grilled Steak


This straight-forward recipe calls for nothing more than steak, salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Yield: 4
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 to 2 pounds strip or rib-eye steaks (2 large steaks should do it)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to its maximum, 500 degrees or more, for at least 20 minutes; if it is equipped with a pizza stone, so much the better. About 10 minutes before you’re ready to eat, put a cast-iron or other ovenproof heavy skillet large enough to hold the steaks (or use 2) over high heat. Wait 2 or 3 minutes, until the pan is beginning to smoke.

Add the steaks and let them sit on top of the stove as long as you can before the smoke becomes intolerable — probably no more than a minute. Immediately transfer the pan to the oven. Roast the steaks for about 4 minutes, or until nicely browned on the bottom, then turn and cook on the other side for another 3 or 4 minutes, until done. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
