Easiest Way to Cook a Juicy, Flavorful Steak

STEP 1: Find a nice cut of steak with good marbling. STEP 2: Use a meat thermometer. STEP 3: Season your steak well with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, pressing it in on both sides and all edges. STEP 4: Heat your oven to 225°F and place the steak in. It should take about 25 minutes to reach ~105°F internal temperature for a medium to medium-rare finish before searing. STEP 5: Get a cast iron skillet HOT, about 5-10 minutes before removing the steak from the oven. Apply olive oil or an oil of your choice (and a little butter). Press in the steak and sear for about 2 minutes on each side, searing all edges. Finish temp should be 133°F. STEP 6: Let your steak rest for 5-10 minutes for the heat and juices to disperse evenly.
