Broil A Perfect Steak - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 steaks
kosher salt
fresh coarse ground black pepper
olive oil

Preparation

ADDITIONAL ITEMS - Cast Iron Skillet, Spatula or Tongs.
Bring your 1 to 2 inch steaks to room temperature and use a clean cloth to remove excess moisture.
Move oven rack 6 inches from heating element.
Pre-heat oven and skillet by setting the oven to broiler for 15 to 20 minutes.
Rub steaks with olive oil, kosher salt and coarsely ground pepper. NOTE: Use any seasonings of your choice.
Once the skillet is pre-heated, pull out the oven rack and carefully lay steaks on the skillet. NOTE: Pan is Extermely Hot and will spit and splatter.
Close oven and sear the steaks for 3 minutes on one side, turn and sear the opposite side for 3 minutes. DO NOT USE A FORK TO TURN STEAKS!
Once seared, set the oven to 500F and cook using this Time Chart. Turn steaks half way through the remaining cooking time.

I can not stress this tip enough -- Keep the fork in the drawer until ready to eat. Never pierce the meat during cooking.
