12. Bake for 2-3 minutes without flipping for medium-rare steaks (130°F/54°C), checking doneness by inserting an instant-read meat thermometer (see recipe notes for other donenesses***).
13. Remove steak to a plate or cutting board covered with aluminum foil to rest for 5 minutes so the juices can retreat back into the meat.
14. To serve, cut the meat away from the bone and slice across the grain into strips.

Serving Size: 1 serving

Nutrition Facts: calories 880 kcal, Carbohydrate 3 g, Protein 71 g, Fat 63 g, Saturated Fat 25 g, Trans Fat 1 g, Cholesterol 205 mg, Sodium 381 mg, Fiber 1 g, Sugar 1 g, unSaturated Fat 32 g, servingSize 1 serving

Ingredients:

• 2 T bone steaks (2-3″ thick steaks, about 14-16oz)
• 2 tbsp steak seasoning (1 tbsp per steak, any bbq rub or steak blend)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp butter (1/2 tbsp per steak)
• ½ tbsp parsley (chopped flat leaf Italian variety (optional))
• ⅛ tsp black pepper (fresh cracked (optional))
• ⅛ tsp salt (fresh cracked sea salt, kosher salt, etc. (optional))

Instruction:

1. Set out steak on a cutting board. While preparing ingredients for the steak (about 15 minutes before cooking this t bone steak recipe), remove steak from the fridge. This will help bring it closer to room temperature.
2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
3. Add seasonings for t-bones. Pat t bone steaks dry with a paper towel and season them all over (don’t forget the sides!) with steak rub or steak seasonings of your choice.
4. Prep a hot, oiled skillet. Add a large cast iron skillet to a burner on medium-high heat. Add olive oil. Once you have a nice, hot skillet (it will slightly start to smoke – turn on the oven fan for this recipe!), then you’re ready to add the t-bone steaks to the hot oil (stand back!).
5. Sear. Place both T-bone steaks in the cast iron pan and sear both sides for 2 minutes on each large, flat side. Next, sear the edges, what my husband calls the “fat sides” for 30 seconds. This is just to brown them with a little pan seared crust.
6. Cook t bone in oven. After the sear, move the cast iron pan into the preheated oven and cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping once halfway through until the internal temperature is about 5-10 degrees below your desired temperature. (In the Sip Bite Go video demonstration, we removed the steaks from the oven when they reached 135 degrees F for med-rare to medium t bone steaks.)
7. Rest t bone steaks. Remove cooked steaks from the oven and place them on a cutting board to rest for at least 10 minutes. During this time I recommend topping T-Bone steaks with the butter so it melts in and provides a little more flavor and juice.
8. Garnish steaks and enjoy. Cut the steaks off the bone, then in slices (see my guide to cutting t bone steak), or serve in a full piece. Top them with anything you’d like, such as fresh chopped Italian parsley, fresh cracked salt and pepper, or recommended steak sauces in the notes.
