I read recently about how big steak places actually cook their steaks. It goes something like this:
Preheat your oven to 450*
Take an oven proof skillet and put a little oil in it and get it HOT. Season your steak as you like it and then put it in the hot skillet and sear it a couple of minutes per side to seal in the juices. Then move it to the oven and let it cook 5-7 minutes for rare, 8-10 minutes for medium and so on.
I tried it and it was the best steak I remember ever eating. I buy my steaks (rib-eyes) at Sam's in Montgomery and they are huge. They cost less than $8/pound and are delicious.
Does anybody else cook their steaks this way? I may never use my grill again.
I do the same with a slight variation. I use olive oil in the pan, saute a few crushed garlic cloves in the oil, remove the cloves before they burn. Do as you describe the rest of the way.
