- Preheat oven to 300⁰ F. Preheat a large skillet to high. Add 2 T. high smoke point oil. When oil begins to shimmer add steaks to pan. Sear 2-3 minutes or until steak has a browned crust and releases from the pan easily. Turn steak over and place pan in the preheated oven on the center rack. Cook for 15-17 minutes or until steaks are 130⁰. See Omaha Steaks Steak Cooking Chart for alternative steak cooking times.
