Steps:
- Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet (preferably cast iron) over high 5 minutes. Generously season steaks with salt and pepper. Add 1/2 teaspoon butter to pan, then immediately top with one steak. Repeat with remaining 1/2 teaspoon butter and steak. Cook without moving steaks until a golden brown crust forms, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook 2 minutes more for rare, or 3 to 4 minutes more for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Slice steaks against the grain; serve with sauce, if desired.
- Heat a 10- or 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat. Season the steaks liberally with salt and pepper. Seconds before adding a steak, drop 1/2 teaspoon of the butter into the pan and immediately top with the steak. Repeat with the remaining steak. Sear for 3 minutes without moving the steak (to form a crust). Turn and cook for 2 minutes for rare or 3 to 4 for medium rare. Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a board or platter for a few minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Place steaks side by side in large casserole dish. Add orange juice, cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Refrigerate, uncovered, for 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Remove casserole dish from refrigerator. Cover steaks with plastic wrap and let reach room temperature, at least 15 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat.
- Place steaks on a clean work surface and generously rub with steak seasoning and black pepper.
- Cook steaks in the hot skillet until lightly browned on the bottom, 2 1/2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side and red in the center, about 2 minutes more. Place skillet, with steaks, into the oven.
- Bake in the preheated oven until steaks are firm and reddish-pink to lightly pink in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read from 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) to 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).

PAN FRIED & OVEN BAKED STEAKS
This is the way I make the perfect steak (in my opinion), when hubby doesn't grab them and destroy them on the grill. Keep in mind that it is just a guide to oven baking steaks. The over-all outcome depends on how thick your steak(s) are and how you like them (rare, medium, well, etc). I've used this technique to make rib eye & strip steaks... some 3/4" thick, some 1 1/2" thick... just be sure to use a meat thermometer. I make a onion sauce which helps to de-glaze the pan and gives a nice Au Jus, which helps to keep the steaks stay moist after cutting into them (although they won't need it). I hope you enjoy your steaks. *Note: All ingredient weights and measurements are approx. *Cooking times will vary.

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 400*F. Place a rimmed sheet pan large enough for the steak(s) into the oven to warm. Remove steak(s) from the refrigerator. Allow to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes on a cutting board.
- Sprinkle on desired amount of garlic powder, salt & pepper to each side of the steak(s). Cover top with a piece of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet (tenderizer), pound steaks to desired thickness (I like them about 3/4" - 1" thick, but thicker is fine -- just adjust cooking time).
- Heat a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat on stove top.
- Once the pan is hot, add the oil and heat until the oil shimmers.
- Lay steak(s) into the skillet. Leave undisturbed for 1 minute. Lift the edges of the steak(s) and swirl the pan to allow more oil underneath, and let sit for 1 more minute. When nicely browned, flip over and repeat this process.
- Remove steak(s) from the skillet and place onto the warmed, rimmed sheet pan, insert a meat thermometer (not touching a bone if your steak(s) have one), and place into the oven to bake.
- Now it all depends on the thickness of your steak(s) to reach your desired doneness. Example: If I am making a 1" thick steak, I will let it bake for 5 minutes, then flip it over and cook for 4 minutes more (we like them pink inside). If mine are 1 1/2" thick, I will bake them for about 8 minutes, flip and do 6-8 minutes more. Just keep and eye on your thermometer and use your own judgement.
- While steak(s) are baking, sautee the sliced onion over medium heat in the same pan that you browned the steaks in, adding more oil if needed (but doubtful). Once onion slices are golden and softened, add the beef broth and simmer until you are ready to eat.
- When steak(s) are baked to desired doneness, remove to a platter and pour juices from the sheet pan into the Au Jus and mix well. Loosely cover the steak(s) with tin foil and let 'rest' for 10 minutes (this is a MUST). Again, pour collected juices from the platter (after the 'rest' period) into the Au Jus and stir.
- You can now serve and enjoy your steak(s) with the Au Jus, or you can thicken the Au Jus to make a gravy by combining 1/4 cup cold water and add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Slowly add the slurry to the pan of Au Jus while simmering to reach your desired thickness (you may not need all of it, so add just a bit at a time). Simmer 2 minutes and then serve.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400. Heat oil in a large cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet (not a nonstick) over medium-high until it begins to smoke. Pat steak dry with paper towels. Season each side with 1 teaspoon coarse salt and 1 teaspoon cracked pepper.
- Cook steak in skillet over medium-high heat until a dark crust has formed, 5 to 7 minutes per side (reduce heat if meat is browning too quickly). Holding steak with tongs, quickly brown all edges, turning as necessary; lay steak flat in skillet.
- Transfer skillet to oven. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of steak registers desired doneness, 5 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate; spread with 1 tablespoon Steak Butter. Cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest 5 to 10 minutes (temperature will then rise another 5 to 10 degrees). Slice across the grain; serve with remaining Steak Butter. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers, up to 2 days.

COUNTRY-STYLE STEAK
Mmmm...mmm... This is the recipe that my momma passed down to me. Born and raised in the South, and my momma was raised on a farm, so my family knows a lot about southern cookin'. With this recipe, don't be shy to add other spices to it. This goes great with mashed potatoes, green beans and sweet tea. You can use the gravy from the steak for the mashed potatoes.

- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and pan-fry the cube steaks until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Place the steaks into a 9x12-inch baking dish. Whisk the retained seasoned flour into the beef broth until smooth, and pour the broth over the steaks. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the meat is tender and the gravy has thickened, about 2 hours.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
- Mix parsley and garlic. Sprinkle lightly with salt and mash slightly to mix, then mix with butter.
- Melt the butter mixture over low heat in a small pan.
- Season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper and place a heavy pan or iron skillet over high heat. Lightly coat pan with oil when hot. Sear the steak until browned on one side (5 minutes). Turn the steak and brush the top generously with the flavored butter.
- Place into the heated oven and cook to your preference (check after 5 minutes by cutting into the center of one of the steaks). The meat will continue to cook from residual heat, so remove it from the oven when slightly less done than you wish.
- Pour remaining butter and any pan juices over the meat and let it stand for a few minutes before serving.

Tips for Pan-Fried and Oven-Baked Steaks
- **Choose the right cut of steak.** For pan-frying, choose a thin cut of steak, such as flank steak, skirt steak, or hanger steak. For oven-baking, choose a thicker cut of steak, such as ribeye, strip steak, or tenderloin. - **Season the steak liberally.** Before cooking, season the steak all over with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. You can also add a marinade to the steak for extra flavor. - **Heat your pan or oven to the right temperature.** For pan-frying, heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. For oven-baking, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. - **Cook the steak to your desired doneness.** Use a meat thermometer to check the steak's internal temperature. For a rare steak, cook to an internal temperature of 125 degrees Fahrenheit. For a medium-rare steak, cook to an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit. For a medium steak, cook to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. For a medium-well steak, cook to an internal temperature of 155 degrees Fahrenheit. For a well-done steak, cook to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. - **Let the steak rest before serving.** After cooking, let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. ###Conclusion
Pan-fried and oven-baked steaks are two classic cooking methods that can produce delicious results. By following these tips, you can cook a perfect steak every time. So next time you're in the mood for a steak, give one of these methods a try. You won't be disappointed!
