For two strip steaks or rib eyes (1-1/2″ thick) or filet mignons (2-1/2″ thick):

1. Remove steaks from the refrigerator 2 hours before cooking; pat dry with a paper towel.

2. Ten minutes before cooking, preheat the oven to 400°F.

3. Heat a heavy, cast-iron skillet over medium high heat, until a few drops of water evaporate within 3 seconds.

4. Coat the bottom with 2 teaspons of grapeseed or canola oil. Salt each steak with 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt and sear for 2 minutes on each side, flipping once.

5. Transfer steaks in pan to the oven for 8 to 9 minutes for medium-rare (125° to 135 °F). Remove and let rest under a tent of aluminum foil for 5 minutes before serving.
