Pan Seared T Bone Steak Recipes

Steps:

• About 1/2 hour before cooking the steak, bring it to room temperature.
• Preheat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush the steak all over with oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Raise the heat to high, add the steak and cook, turning once, until well browned, about 7 minutes for the first side, and 4 minutes on the second side, for medium-rare. Hold the steak with tongs and sear the edges. (An instant-read thermometer inserted perpendicularly into the steak registers 125 degrees F for medium rare.)
• Transfer the steak to cutting board and cover loosely with foil. Let rest for 5 minutes.
• Cut the tenderloin and strip from the bone, and slice against the grain. Transfer to a serving platter and serve au natural, with mustard, compound butter, or horseradish sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• A half-hour before cooking, remove steak from refrigerator.
• Heat a large skillet over high heat.
• Pat steak dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
• Add oil to hot skillet and when it begins to smoke add steak.
• Reduce heat slightly and cook steak until browned, about 4 minutes on each side.
• Transfer skillet to the oven.
• Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted sideways into the steak registers 120 degrees F for medium-rare, about 6 to 8 minutes.
• Transfer steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes. (This is a very important step!).
• Cut steak from the bone and carve meat across the grain.
