Steaks Anyone?

Here is my new favorite way to cook a steak.

1. Get a good cut steak, 1-1 1/2 thick. Marinate if you wish for however long.

2. Before cooking, let steak come to room temperature.

3. Place a good pan in the oven and heat to 500 degrees (just the pan). A little before oven is heated to 500 degrees, turn a burner on high. - Don't ask questions, ...just do this.

4. When oven reaches 500 degrees, pull pan out - with an oven mit!, Place on heated burner and sear each side of the steaks for 30 seconds. Leave the oven on - were not done yet. This may produce a little smoke..don't worry - it's just an effect.

5. After searing, place pan with steaks in the oven for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes, pull steaks out, flip, place back in oven and cook for an additional 3 minutes.

6. Remove steaks from oven...brag and act like mucho badass. Let sit for 5 minutes.

Steaks will have a nice pink center.
