Some friendly suggestions--if I may:
- take the steak out of the package the night before and put it on a rack in a pan so that there's clearance between the bottom of the steak and bottom of the pan. Rub salt on both sides and cover--making sure that nothing but the rack is touching it so that it can dry just a bit. I promise this is a good thing. Leave in fridge until an hour before using.
- Take out the steak and let it get to room temperature, still on the rack in the pan.
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a CLEAN pan, lightly oil and bring it to medium-high heat.
- Put garlic powder and fresh black pepper on BOTH sides just prior to putting in pan.
- Place steak in hot pan, searing both sides at about 2 to 3 minutes each (stoves vary).
- Place back on rack in metal tray and BAKE for about 12-16 minutes (again, ovens vary) until internal temperature is between 140 to 160F, depending on how you like it done.
- Take out of oven and place on a warmed plate (placed in oven 1 or 2 minutes) and tent with aluminum foil. DO NOT touch for 10 minutes.
- Use this time to deglaze the frying pan with canned beef broth and/or a dash of red wine. Stir with a whisk, adding some oregano and fresh garlic, salt and pepper. You can also add some mushrooms sauteed in butter or olive oil. Add one pat (1/2 TBSP) butter and stir briskly, letting the sauce reduce by 1/3. This is an au jus.
- Serve steak with au jus and perhaps some asparagus (grilled) or green beans (grilled if fresh, simmered if canned).
- Enjoy.
