Ingredients

  • 2 filet steaks mine were around 7 ounce each, medium thickness
  • 2 teaspoons avocado oil 1 tsp per steak
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the cast iron skillet over medium high heat on the stove, and preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Season the steaks. Mix the garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl and stir to combine. Coat each steak with a teaspoon of avocado oil, rubbing on both sides to coat. Sprinkle the seasoning on both sides of the steak, and use your fingers to press it into the oil to make it stick.
  3. Sear the steak. Place the steaks in the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes on the first side, 3 minutes on the second side
  4. Transfer the skillet with the steaks into the preheated oven for about 10 minutes for medium cooked steaks. (Note: this may vary based on the thickness of the steaks. Mine were thick, one was about and inch and the other was about an inch and a half.)
  5. Remove steaks from oven, and use tongs to carefully remove them off the skillet onto a plate to rest for about 5 minutes prior to serving.

Recipe Notes

Nutritional information is approximate and was calculated using a recipe nutrition label generator. 

Steaks were approximately 7 ounces each and medium thickness. You may need to adjust cook time accordingly. For example, thicker steaks cook an extra minute or two. And rarer cooking preference, decrease oven time by 2 minutes or so.

For resting, be sure and remove steaks from the hot pan. Otherwise, they will continue to cook and get overdone.
