First, you’ll want to marinate your steaks in a simple mixture of orange juice, cider vinegar, olive oil, and Worcestershire sauce. Don’t worry, it’s not as complicated as it sounds Just throw all the ingredients together in a bowl, add your steaks, and let them sit in the fridge for 45 minutes.

While your steaks are marinating, preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Yes, you read that right – 425 degrees You want it hot, hot, hot to get that perfect crust on your steak.
Once your steaks are done marinating, remove them from the fridge and let them come to room temperature. This is important, so don’t skip this step You want your steaks to be at room temperature so they cook evenly.

Now it’s time to heat up your cast-iron skillet over high heat. Yes, cast-iron It’s the perfect pan for this recipe because it retains heat like no other surface. Add a couple of teaspoons of olive oil to the pan and let it heat up for a minute or two.
Once your pan is hot, add your steaks and cook for 2 ½ minutes on the first side. You want to get a nice sear on the steak, so don’t move it around too much. Flip the steak over and cook for another 2 minutes, or until it’s browned on the other side.

Now it’s time to finish your steak in the oven. Place the skillet with the steak in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak. You’re aiming for 130-140 degrees F (54-60 degrees C) for medium-rare.
Once your steak is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. This is the hardest part – waiting for the steak to rest But trust me, it’s worth it. The juices will redistribute, and the steak will be even more tender and flavorful.

And that’s it Your steak is now ready to be devoured. Slice it up, serve it with your favorite sides, and enjoy the ooohs and ahhhs from your family and friends.
