Wow! About a week ago I was watching some cooking show when the chef cooked the steaks exactly the way you described. I’ve tried it twice now and finally have steaks close to the way I want. Thanks for reinforcing this method. First perfect steaks, then a perfect world!

I’ve been using the oven at 450 so I have to stand there and keep a close eye on things. I don’t know yet if I can adjust for my husband’s preferred doneness.

I think this next time I’ll turn it down to 375 as you suggest. My little cast iron pan has a wooden handle and it’s definitely charcoaled now.

Thanks!
