1-First Step: Preparation: Start by taking your steaks out of the refrigerator and letting them sit at room temperature for about 30-60 minutes. This step is crucial for even cooking! While the steaks are coming to room temperature, preheat your broiler and you want to have your seasonings ready to go.

2-Second Step: Seasoning: In a small bowl, whisk together kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Remember, we’re not giving exact measurements here because seasoning is personal! Start with about a teaspoon of each per steak and adjust according to your preferences.

3-Third Step: Preparing the Steaks: Use paper towels to blot the steaks dry this helps create a beautiful crust. Brush both sides of each steak with high-heat oil (canola, avocado, or grapeseed oil work great here). Then sprinkle your seasoning blend evenly on both sides of each steak, pressing gently to help it adhere.

4-Fourth Step: Heating the Skillet: Heat an oven-safe skillet (cast iron works beautifully) over high heat for 6-8 minutes until it’s super-hot. You want it practically smoking! This high heat is what creates that perfect sear.

5-Fifth Step: Initial Searing: Carefully add the steaks to the hot skillet and press them evenly into the pan. Cook for just 30 seconds to create a good crust. This quick sear locks in flavor and starts the cooking process.

6-Sixth Step: Oven Cooking: Flip the steaks and immediately transfer the entire skillet to the oven. Position it so the steaks are about 4-6 inches from the broiler element. Broil for 3 minutes. Then flip the steaks again and broil for an additional 2-3 minutes until your desired doneness is reached. Remember that cooking times vary based on steak thickness and preferred doneness.

7-Seventh Step: Resting: Remove the skillet from the oven and brush those delicious pan juices back onto the steaks. This adds incredible flavor! Let the steaks rest for 3 minutes before serving. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring maximum flavor and tenderness.

8-Final Step: Serving: Serve your perfectly cooked oven steaks warm with your favorite sides. The beauty of this method is that it produces consistent results every time, with less mess and more control than traditional stovetop or grill methods.
