Cast Iron Pan-Seared Steak (Oven-Finished) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 (6 ounce) beef top sirloin steaks
2 cups orange juice
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons steak seasoning (such as Fiesta Brand(R) Uncle Chris'), or to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
sea salt to taste

Preparation

Place steaks side by side in large casserole dish. Add orange juice, cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Refrigerate, uncovered, for 45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Remove casserole dish from refrigerator. Cover steaks with plastic wrap and let reach room temperature, at least 15 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat.
Place steaks on a clean work surface and generously rub with steak seasoning and black pepper.
Cook steaks in the hot skillet until lightly browned on the bottom, 2 1/2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side and red in the center, about 2 minutes more. Place skillet, with steaks, into the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven until steaks are firm and reddish-pink to lightly pink in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read from 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) to 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
Remove steaks from oven; season with salt. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
