Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Resting Time: 5 mins
Total Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• 2-4 steaks, see note
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2-3 tsp coarse salt
• black pepper, freshly ground, to taste

Instructions

1. Pat dry steaks with paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
2. Rub steaks with olive oil, salt and pepper and place on a broiler pan (see note).
3. Position oven rack so that the steaks will be 3-4 inches from the heating element.
4. Preheat oven on "broil" setting at the maximum temperature for at least 5 minutes (see note).
5. Place the steaks in the oven.
6. Broil steaks for 3-12 minutes per side (see note). Keep the oven door closed or ajar according to the manufacturer's directions.
7. Using tongs, flip the steaks and broil for 3-12 minutes more. Check doneness using an instant-read thermometer.
8. Remove steaks to a serving platter and cover with foil. Let rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to recede into the meat.
9. Slice the meat crosswise against the grain. Serve au naturel or with steak sauce.

Notes

Broil flank steak, sirloin steak, ribeye steak, or other cuts. Steaks should be 3/4 - 1 1/2 inches (2-4 cm) thick.
The oven's broil steak temperature setting will typically be 450-550°F (232-288°C).
Broil steak without cast iron skillet if possible, as accumulated fat close to the heating element can ignite.
Do not pierce the steak with a fork during cooking, as juices will escape and dry out the meat.
Check doneness by inserting an instant-read thermometer into the middle of the steak:
Rare: 125°F (52°C)
Medium rare: 130°F (54°C)
Medium: 140°F (60°C)
Medium-well: 150°F (66°C)
Note: the temperature will rise an additional 5°F (3°C) during resting.
