Equipment

  • Meat thermometer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ribeye steak preferably at least 1½" thick
  • salt and pepper for seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 225℉.
  • Pat your steak dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper. Allow to come to room temperature.
  • Place the steak on a wire baking rack over a baking sheet. Place in oven for 20-40 minutes, depending on how well done you like your steak, and how thick it is. Using a meat thermometer is key here.
  • Take your steak from the oven once it reaches temperature (Rare: take it out when the thermometer reads 105℉. Medium-Rare: 115℉. Medium: 125℉. Medium-well: 135℉.).
  • Let the steak rest for 6-8 minutes while you preheat your searing pan.
  • Add olive oil to the pan and allow it to heat. It should be smoking hot. Add you steak, and sear each side for 60 seconds.
  • Remove steak, slice against the grain, and serve.

Notes

  • If you can, allow your steak to dry out in the fridge overnight to help dry it out.
  • Make sure your steak is at room temperature before you start cooking!
  • USE A MEAT THERMOMETER.
  • Make sure you rest the steak in between the bake and the sear. 
Again, here are the temps you need to get the steak out of the oven at: 
  • Rare: take it out when the thermometer reads 105F.
  • Medium-Rare: 115F.
  • Medium: 125F.
  • Medium-well: 135F.
