- Sear for 2 minutes, then flip and sear for another minute.
- Immediately place into the oven. Allow 3 to 5 minutes for the steak to finish or until they an internal temperature of 5 degrees below your final temperature (120 for rare, 130 for medium rare, 140 for medium, 150 for medium well and 160 for well done).

An optional but delicious addition to the steak is putting a pat of cold butter on top of it when you are ready to put it in the oven. The butter will melt and coat that steak is deliciousness.
