I like steaks seared, then cooked medium rare, for seasoning I like
salt, fresh ground pepper and garlic fresh pressed on top. Also a nice
pat of butter melting over all.. YUM

I've taken to getting a stainless steel pan ripping hot then searing the
steak for anywhere from 2 to 4 minutes per side. Then into a 400F oven
for 8 to 10 minutes, turning once midway. They come out perfect every
time.
