How should I check for internal temperature? Do I put the steak in the oven and cook for a few minutes at a certain oven temperature, and then pull the steaks out and then stick the digitial thermometer into the steaks? And then adjust oven temperature depending on what the digital thermometer says?

Thanks for the feedback guys. I guess I want concrete guidelines because this is the first time I'll be trying to prepare steak properly and I don't want to have to mess up 10 times before doing it right. I know it's a learning process, and everyone is different, every steak is different, and every salt is different, but if you all gave me your preferences as to salting and seasoning (and I realize, everyone would have a different opinion), I think I would do better than just winging it on my own, especially during my first time. Dakki, thanks for the thread suggestion. I'll have to read that and see if that helps.

Hi dcarch. I haven't gone out and bought the meat yet. I want to get high quality rib eye. Isn't that usually 1-2 inches thick? Thanks in advance.

Hi guys. I'm a rookie aspiring steak chef. I plan on cooking steak by pan roasting and then completing the cooking in an oven. First I want to season the steak with salt, pepper, and butter, and then sear for 2-3 minutes on each side in a cast iron pan. After that, I will transfer the pan to a 375 degree F oven for 10-14 minutes. This way the meat gets a good brown crust on the stovetop, and cooks evenly through in the oven. From my research, this is how Laurent Tourondel of BLT Steak (my favorite steak restaurant) does it. What do you guys think? What is the amount/ratio of butter, salt, and pepper I should use to season the steak? I'm concerned about making the steak too salty or "peppery." Do I only put the steak, butter, salt, and pepper together when I'm searing on the cast iron pan? Or should I let the meat marinate in the butter, salt, and pepper for some amount of time before I pan roast it? I'm a rookie so any detailed advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
