Iron Skillet Rib Eye - Sitstayplay

1. 1

   Open the windows and patio door to the kitchen (not kidding)!

2. 2

   Set out steaks and bring to room temperature.

3. 3

   Place cast iron skillet in oven and heat oven to 500 degrees. Transfer skillet to range set on high heat.

4. 4

   Coat the steaks lightly with oil and season both sides generously with salt. Grind on black pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Quickly place steaks in the middle of hot, dry pan. Do not overcrowd, leaving at least an inch of space around each steak.

6. 6

   Cook 30 seconds without moving. Turn with tongs and cook another 30 seconds. Place skillet into the oven for 2 minutes. Flip steaks and cook for another 2 minutes. (This time is for medium rare steaks. If you prefer medium, add a minute to both of the oven turns.)

7. 7

   Remove steak from pan, cover loosely with foil, and rest for 2 minutes.
