Always cooked steaks on a grill. With it being hot as two ****s eating a corn dog lately. I don't want to stand around a fire.

How do you cook the steaks in a skillet?
Do you sear them and put them in the oven?

Thanks.

You have a meat thermometer?

Put in oven at 275 till the internal meat temp reaches 120-125 ( for med rare), sear in hot skillet 1 min each side

Alton Brown's Cast Iron Steak
Ingredients
Steaks of your choice
Olive oil
Seasoning


Instructions
Place a large well-seasoned cast iron fry pan in the oven and heat oven to 500 degrees. Keep pan in oven 10-12 minutes after 500 degrees is reached; pan should smoke lightly. While pan is heating, lightly oil top and bottom of steaks with a good olive oil; season top side to taste. Turn gas cooktop on high and move pan from oven to burner. Place steaks seasoned side up in pan. The steak should sizzle immediately. Brown 30-60 seconds depending on the thickness. Flip the steak and repeat same length of time. Remove from stove top and return to oven; cook 6 – 10 minutes depending on thickness for medium; a bit less for medium rare. By Alton Brown

You must not come here often. The reverse sear is the official method of the F&DB.

In all honesty though...low temp oven until you are 5 degrees from the final internal temp that you want. After that, pull and rest for 5 minutes. Screaming hot cast iron after that and you'll have a very enjoyable steak.

I have gotten to where I cook all my steaks inside, on a black iron skillet.

I mostly cook filets, which are usually 1.5-2" thick.

Like already mentioned, salt, fresh pepper, and garlic powder, let come to room temp. Use a lot of seasoning, because a lot will fall off.

Set oven to 425 deg

Get my black iron skillet super hot. Add pat of butter.

Place steaks in skillet for 2-3 mins (depends on thickness). Flip and cook for another 2-3 mins. If they are really thick, sear the sides for about 30 secs each. Add another pat of butter and fresh rosemary, place in oven for 4-6 mins (depends on thickness).

Remove from skillet, place each steak on wire baking sheet, cover with foil and let sit for 3-5 mins.

Comes out med-rare every time.

People are super amazed at my steaks. Some say as good as any steak they've had at restaurants.
