Ingredients
  • 1½ pounds sirloin steak
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided use
  • Montreal Steak seasoning, to taste
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 F.
  2. Place steaks on a plate. Pour about ¼ cup of olive oil evenly over the steaks. Make sure that both sides of the steaks are completely coated in oil. Use your hands to rub the oil into the steaks. Liberally sprinkle one side of the steaks with the Montreal Steak seasoning, to taste. Only season one side of the steaks for now.
  3. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until it sizzles when a drop of water hits it. Add remaining two tablespoons of olive oil to the pan. Tip the pan around so that the bottom is evenly coated with the olive oil.
  4. Place steaks seasoned side down into the oil. Leave some space in the pan between each piece of steak. Liberally sprinkle the unseasoned side of the steak with Montreal Steak seasoning. Sear the steaks until they have developed a nice brown crust, about 3 minutes. Try to avoid moving the steaks as much as possible so that a nice crust can form. Flip the steaks and sear until the other side has a nice brown crust, about 3 minutes.
  5. Place the whole cast iron skillet in the oven and cook until meat has reached the appropriate temperature for desired doneness. Insert a meat thermometer into the center of the largest steak to determine the temperature. I cooked my steaks for about 7 minutes and they were cooked to about medium doneness.
