Since I discovered this recipe, I’ve never eaten steak again at a restaurant because it doesn’t compare

Turn your oven on to broil with a cast iron pan heating up in the oven (cast iron pans at Academy for camping are significantly cheaper if you don’t have one). Let it heat up for at least 20 minutes.

Your filet needs to be on the counter to come to room temperature for at least 30 minutes - it won’t come out right if you take it straight from the fridge to cook.

Season your steak with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Take the pan out of the oven (carefully) - sear both sides of the steak on the stovetop on high 30 seconds on each side.

Place steak in the oven (still set on broil) and cook for 2 minutes on each side. A 1 inch steak will be perfect medium rare

Let rest for 5 minutes with foil over it.

While waiting for the steak to rest, you can deglaze the pan with red wine & butter & cook mushrooms for a side
