i love it this way.

i preheat my oven to 400, but i have my cast iron in there warming. gives it a huge jump-start when i need it to be rocket hot. that way, i just put it onto a flaming stovetop and it is already hot.

you ever read recipes? they all say a two minutes on each side..and into the oven..for way too little time. i need the same 8-10 minutes you do for med rare. maybe my oven is weak? 400 seems like 400. dunno.

i then slice it on the bias, fan it out,,drizzle some fresh olive oil, and add a big squeeze of lemon and serve it up family style. i cant eat an entire steak anymore.
