Step 1

For a "Medium" Steak - Preheat oven to 475 degrees before you even start to season your steaks.

Step 2

Coat your steaks with salt and pepper, on both sides.

Step 3

Over medium to high heat, melt the butter in an oven proof skillet.

Step 4

When the butter is melted and has turned a golden brown, place the steaks into the skillet. Let them sear for about 1 minute (less if you prefer more of a rarer steak, and if thinner than 1-in. thickness.)

Step 5

Flip and let sear on other side for the same amount of time.

Step 6

Place skillet in the oven for about 3 minutes.

Step 7

Remove steak from skillet (or it will continue to cook) and place on a cutting board. Allow the steak to rest for 1-2 minutes to trap the juices inside, and then serve.
