  • Season steak with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Drizzle 2 tablespoons of oil into cast iron skillet.
  • Sear and cook steak for 3 1/2 minutes per side or until internal temperature reads 135 degrees F. If you like your steak more done, leave on for an extra minute per side.

Notes

Look for the more inexpensive cut of steak called Chuck-eye! Taste just like rib-eye to me!
