These steaks are pan seared to caramelize and brown the outside and then they are finished in the oven. Top them with a pat of butter and serve.
PRO TIP: The steaks will continue to cook while they are resting (“carryover cooking”), so resist the urge to keep them in the oven if they don’t look fully baked.
PRO TIP: Using liquid to loosen, and then scraping the bits off the bottom is called “deglazing the pan” and those tasty bits are called “fonds.”
Remember that steaks will rise a couple of degrees while they rest, I take them out about 3-4° before they’re done. Here’s a quick primer on what “doneness” means:
Leftover steak will keep in the refrigerator for about 3 days and we most often serve the steaks in the morning with fried eggs. Feel free to cut it into strips for easy steak tacos. Or, make these tasty philly cheesesteak wraps. Some spicy steak fajitas are always a treat as well!
