Pro Tip:
For even deeper flavor, salt the steak and let it rest uncovered in the refrigerator for 4–24 hours. This is called dry brining and enhances flavor and crust formation.
Method 1: Pan-Seared + Oven Finished (Professional Steakhouse Method)
This method gives you maximum crust with perfect interior doneness.
Step 1: Sear

Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat for 3–5 minutes.
Add oil.
Place steak in the pan and DO NOT move it for 3–4 minutes.
You want a deep golden-brown crust. This is the Maillard reaction — the chemical process responsible for steakhouse flavor.
