making steaks without mistakes

For a change I thought I'd share something I learned...how to make really awesome steaks.

You will need:
steaks (any kind, 1 inch thick, at room temperature)
a cast iron frying pan
olive oil or vegetable oil
salt
pepper
an oven

Instructions:
1. Place the frying pan in the oven and turn the oven on 500 degrees.
2. Rub both sides steaks with a little bit of oil.
3. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of steak.
4. When oven has reached 500 degrees, move frying pan to top of stove on high heat. (Use a pot holder. The pan will be hot.)
5. Sear the steaks for 30 seconds on each side.
6. Place the frying pan with steaks in the oven. (still on 500 degrees)
7. Cook steaks for 4 minutes on each side. (If you like your steaks medium-rare reduce time to 2 minutes for each side.)

That's all there is to it!
