COOKING STEAK ON CAST IRON SKILLET RECIPES

Steps:

• STEAK:.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Bring the steak to room temperature.
• Rub the steak on both sides with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Let it sit while you preheat a cast iron skillet over high heat, about 4 minutes.
• Place the steak in the skillet, and don't move it for 3 minutes.
• Flip the steak, and leave it alone for another 3 minutes.
• Put the skillet into the preheated oven for 5 minutes. (This will be medium rare.).
• Remove the steak from the skillet to a platter, cover loosely with foil, and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
• OPTIONAL SAUCE:
• While the steak is resting, deglaze the pan with the red wine, and put back over high heat. Scrape up any bits of steak stuck to the pan.
• Add the shallots to soften in the wine as it reduces.
• Finish the sauce by swirling in the butter to incorporate.
• Pour sauce over steak.

Steps:

• Heat a 10-to-12-inch cast-iron skillet in a 500°F oven. Remove the rib eye out of the refrigerator, bring it to room temperature.
• Once the oven reaches 500°F, remove the skillet out of the oven and place it on the stove over high heat for 5 minutes. Lightly coat steak with oil and season both sides with a large pinch of salt and black pepper.
• Instantly lay the ribeye in the center of the hot skillet. Sear 30 seconds don’t move ribeye. Turn over the steak with tongs and sear an additional 30 seconds, then place the skillet straight forward into the oven for 2 minutes. Turn the ribeye over, cook for an additional 2 more minutes. (If you prefer medium cooked steak, you add a minute to each turn.)
• Place a pat of herb butter on top of ribeye, remove steak out from skillet, cover loosely with foil, and rest for 2 minutes as butter melts.
