BEEF ESSENTIALS: OVEN FINISHED FLAT-IRON STEAK
In all of the restaurants that I worked in; including steak houses, this is the way we cooked steaks... Started on a grill, or pan, and finished in the oven. It got to the point after I had cooked so many steaks, I did not need an instant-read thermometer to tell when a steak was ready. It was all about time, and a good...

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. You will need a good heavy-bottom, oven-proof pan.
- 3. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- 4. Place a rack in the bottom position, and preheat the oven to 400f (205c).
- 5. Take the steak out of the fridge, pat dry, and liberally coat with oil, and black pepper (both sides).
- 6. Allow to rest for 30 - 40 minutes... let it come up to room temperature.
- 7. Chef's Note: You want the steak as close to room temperature as possible. That way it will cook evenly, and not leave you with a cold, red center.
- 8. Place a dry pan over high heat.
- 9. Just before placing the steak in the pan, add the salt.
- 10. Chef's Note: Salt is an interesting ingredient, and it can make a steak tasty, and it can make it mushy. Add the salt to the steak, just before throwing it in the pan. And, if you have nice flaky salt, use it. I love biting down on a good piece of steak, and hearing, and tasting that satisfying crunch of flake salt.
- 11. Add the steak to the hot pan... you should hear a nice satisfying sizzle.
- 12. After 3 - 4 minutes, flip, and allow to cook for an additional 2 - 3 minutes.
- 13. Add the butter to the top of the steak.
- 14. Place the pan into the oven, and bake until medium rare, about 8 - 10 minutes.
- 15. Chef's Note: If you are using an instant-read thermometer, it should read 120f - 130f (50c - 55c). You can cook it longer or shorter; depending on your individual tastes.
- 16. Remove from the oven, tent with some foil, and let it rest for 5 - 6 minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute.
- 17. PLATE/PRESENT
- 18. Slice thinly against the grain, and serve with your favorite sides. Enjoy.
- 19. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
