CAST-IRON STEAK
This isn't steakhouse steak; it's your-house steak, ideal for home cooks who want fast weeknight meals. The rules are simple: buy boneless cuts (they cook evenly), thinner steaks (they cook through on top of the stove), dry them well (to maximize crust), then salt and sear them in an insanely hot, preferably cast-iron pan. The recipe here is a radical departure from the conventional wisdom on steak, which commands you to salt the meat beforehand, put it on the heat and then leave it alone. Instead, you should salt the pan (not the meat) and flip the steak early and often. This combination of meat, salt, heat and cast-iron produces super-crusty and juicy steak - no grilling, rubbing, or aging required.

Steps:
- Remove packaging and pat meat dry with paper towels. Line a plate with paper towels, place meat on top and set aside to dry further and come to cool room temperature (30 to 60 minutes, depending on the weather). Turn occasionally; replace paper towels as needed.
- Place a heavy skillet, preferably cast-iron, on the stove and sprinkle lightly but evenly with about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt. Turn heat to high under pan. Pat both sides of steak dry again.
- When pan is smoking hot, 5 to 8 minutes, pat steak dry again and place in pan. (If using two steaks, cook in two batches.)
- Let steak sizzle for 1 minute, then use tongs to flip it over, moving raw side of steak around in pan so both sides are salted. Press down gently to ensure even contact between steak and pan. Keep cooking over very high heat, flipping steak every 30 seconds. After it's been turned a few times, sprinkle in two pinches salt. If using pepper, add it now.
- When steak has contracted in size and developed a dark-brown crust, about 4 minutes total, check for doneness. To the touch, meat should feel softly springy but not squishy. If using an instant-read thermometer, insert into side of steak. For medium-rare meat, 120 to 125 degrees is ideal: Steak will continue cooking after being removed from heat.
- Remove steak to a cutting board and tent lightly with foil. Let rest 5 minutes.
- Serve in pieces or thickly slice on the diagonal, cutting away from your body and with the top edge of the knife leaning toward your body. If cooking skirt or hanger steak, make sure to slice across the grain of the meat.

SEARED CAST IRON STEAKS
Found and tried this "sear and blast" method of cooking steak indoors and it really works great! Sure beats standing out by the grill when it's 20 degrees F below in Minnesota.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Season steaks with garlic, powder, salt, and pepper.
- Turn on your exhaust fan. Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until smoking, 4 to 6 minutes. Sear steaks in the hot oil for about 3 minutes.
- Turn steaks over and immediately transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Cook until steaks are beginning to firm and are hot and slightly pink in the center, about 6 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Remove from the oven and let sit for 1 to 2 minutes before slicing and serving.

Steps:
- Let the steak rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the broiler. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.
- Season the steak heavily with salt and pepper on all sides. Add the oil to the skillet, then place the steak in the skillet and do not move it. Cook until a nice sear forms, about 3 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, transfer the steak to a cutting board and cut both the filet and sirloin from the bone. Slice the steak against the grain into thick pieces. Put the bone back into the skillet and reassemble the steak around it (it should look like the steak originally did) with the seared side up. Top with pieces of butter. Add a couple cloves of garlic and a few sprigs of thyme or rosemary, if desired.
- Broil to desired doneness, about 4 minutes for medium rare, 5 to 6 minutes for medium. Transfer to a serving plate and pour the pan drippings over the steak.
