Ingredients:
- 1 (1-2 pound) T-bone steak
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or grilled asparagus
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Pat the steak dry with a paper towel.
- Season the steak with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned.
- Transfer the steak to a baking dish and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Tips:
- You can also cook the steak on the grill. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and cook the steak for 4-5 minutes per side, or until browned. Transfer the steak to the indirect heat of the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
- To check for doneness, insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the steak. For rare, the steak should be 120-125 degrees F (50-52 degrees C). For medium-rare, the steak should be 130-135 degrees F (54-57 degrees C). For medium, the steak should be 140-145 degrees F (60-63 degrees C). For medium-well, the steak should be 150-155 degrees F (66-68 degrees C). For well-done, the steak should be 160-165 degrees F (71-74 degrees C).
- Serve the steak with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Here are some additional tips for making the best T-bone steak:
- Use a good quality steak. A good quality steak will have a nice marbling of fat, which will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Don’t overcrowd the skillet. If you put too many steaks in the skillet at once, they will not cook evenly.
- Don’t overcook the steak. If you overcook the steak, it will be dry and tough.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the steak and make it more tender.
