Reverse-Seared Steak

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Steak 1.5 - 2 inches thick (ribeye, porterhouse, strip)
  • Kosher Salt and Pepper
  • 1/2 tbsp Vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp Unsalted butter (optional)
  • 2 sprigs Fresh thyme (optional)
  • 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 200.
  • Place steak on a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Season liberally with the salt and pepper.
  • Place steak in the oven for 50 mins - 1 hour, depending on thickness. Final internal temp should be around 130 for medium rare.
  • Heat cast iron pan over high heat and add the vegetable oil. Make sure the pan is HOT! The oil should smoke a bit to indicate this. Add the steak and throw in the butter, garlic, thyme and rosemary. Once the butter melts fully (it won't take long), flip the steak. Tilt the pan away from you until the butter pools a bit at the bottom of the pan, take a spoon and baste the steak with the butter/garlic mixture. Again, this part is not a long process so no more than a minute per side.
  • Slice and serve!
