re: Cooking a filet on the stove top/oven

I had never really heard of this method before frequenting this board. But I was intrigued and decided to give it a try. I've since done it with a t-bone, a filet, and a ribeye and I don't think I'll ever go back to the grill if I have a choice. I allow the steak to sit out until it's at room temp, then I salt and pepper the steak. I do not use any oil in the pan or on the steak. I've never had a problem with the meat sticking to the skillet. I'll get the cast iron skillet white hot and set the oven to 500°...90 seconds on each side then I put a teaspoon of butter on top of each steak and put the skillet in the oven. Wait 2 minutes and flip the steaks. Wait 2 more mins and remove from the oven...set the steaks on a plate and cover with foil for 5 mins. My biggest warning is that it will completely smoke out your kitchen.

Leave Toddy on the poli board please.
