Oven-Grilled Steak

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to its maximum, 500F or more, for at least 20 minutes; if it is equipped with a pizza stone, so much the better.

2. 2

   About 10 minutes before youre ready to eat, put a cast-iron or other ovenproof heavy skillet large enough to hold the steaks (or use 2) over high heat.

3. 3

   Wait 2 or 3 minutes, until the pan is beginning to smoke.

4. 4

   Add the steaks and let them sit on top of the stove as long as you can before the smoke becomes intolerableprobably no more than a minute.

5. 5

   Immediately transfer the pan to the oven.

6. 6

   Roast the steaks for about 4 minutes, or until nicely browned on the bottom, then turn and cook on the other side for another 3 or 4 minutes, until done.

7. 7

   Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
