This is the high-end steak house way. Your favorite beef steak. Prime is best, but choice will do. Two inches thick. Not 1 3/4 or 1 1/2". Start oven at 425° F and start pre-heating a CI skillet on low. Salt and pepper the steak and spray the skillet lightly with oil. When the skillet handle is hot turn the burner temp up to med-high and when the oil starts smoking add the steak.
For rare, sear for 5 minutes on the stove top, turn and put the skillet in the oven for 5 minutes. For medium-rare add 2 minutes to the oven time. More than medium-rare is is an insult to a good steak. Immediately plate the steak to let it rest for 5 minutes.
During the rest, add some butter, some water and a bit of salt to the skillet and whisk to pick up the flavor. Add some heat if necessary to boil down the water. Pour this over the steak, sprinkle on Fleur de Sel, plate any sides and serve. Enjoy your $70 steak with free sides. Did you remember to warm your plates?
