Instructions
1: Remove the steaks from the bag at least 2 hours before cooking and pick off the ginger and thyme. Discard the marinade. 2: Blot off all of the marinade from the steaks with paper towels, making sure the steaks are very dry. 3: Season each steak on both sides with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon of the remaining pepper. 4: Preheat the oven to 400°F. 5: Heat a black steel pan over high heat until very hot. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and heat until the surface is rippling but not smoking. 6: Working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, add 2 steaks to the pan. 7: Press a heavy plate or bowl onto the steaks to ensure an even dark brown sear across the entire surface (avoid creating black spots). 8: Cook on each side for 1 minute, then transfer to a baking sheet, and rinse and dry the pan. Repeat with the remaining oil and steaks in two batches. 9: Once all of the steaks have been seared, place the baking sheet in the oven and cook, flipping the steaks after 3½ minutes, for 7 to 10 minutes total, until each steak reaches an internal temperature of 116°F to 120°F in the thickest part. 10: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the steaks to a plate to rest for 5 to 7 minutes. 11: Cut the steaks on a sharp bias across the grain into ¼- to ½-inch-thick slices.View original recipe
