Critical Success Points

  • Dry‑brine (salt) and rest the steak on a rack
  • Preheat oil to 400°F for a proper sear
  • Sear each side without moving to develop crust
  • Finish in a 400°F oven to reach target doneness
  • Rest the steak after cooking to redistribute juices

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can splatter – use a splatter guard and keep face away.
  • Cast‑iron handles become extremely hot – use oven mitts.
  • Thermometer tip can be sharp; handle with care.
