Instructions

BEFORE you fire up the broiler, place the rack 4-6” from the broiler/top of the oven. (The closer it is, the faster the steak will cook and the more caramelized it will get. I’ve found that we like it better closer to the broiler because it gives it more flavor, as well as cooks faster. BUT you want the steak to be at least 2.5-3" away from the broiler, as any closer could cause some flare ups.)
Preheat the broiler. It should be around 550°F.
Line a small baking sheet with sides with aluminum foil.
Season your steaks with salt and pepper, and place it in the oven.
Broil for 4 minutes, and then flip using tongs.
Broil for 3 minutes to cook the other side. Take the internal temperature of the steaks. Be sure to remove the steaks when they are within 5 degrees of your ideal internal temperature. It will continue to cook when you remove it from the oven.
Remove from the oven, and transfer to a plate.
Cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest for 5-10 minutes. This is important to redistribute the juices of the steak. If you cut it too early, all the juices will run out!
Once the steaks have rested, slice it and serve with your favorite sides for an at-home steak dinner!

Notes

You can use any cut of steak for this recipe. Keep in mind that the thickness of the steak will determine the cook time, so if yours is thinner than the ones shared in this recipe, it will cook for less time.
What temperature should my steak be?
The steak will continue cooking after it comes out of the broiler, so remove it when the temperature is within 5 degrees of your ideal temperature.
How to take the temperature: Use a digital meat thermometer. Poke the thermometer’s tip into the center of the steak. Be careful not to push it all the way through. Let the thermometer tell you what the temperature is, and then transfer the steak to a plate and cover if it’s within 5-10 degrees of your ideal temperature. Pop it back into the broiler for a little more time if you want it more cooked through.
