The Perfect T-Bone
I’m happy to boldly proclaim that I’m a gal who loves a steak, and what’s better than a T-bone? You know my particular viewpoint on cooking a steak: why get an inch and a half, when you can get two? The key to rocking the 2-inch cut is a pan that can perform and go from stovetop to oven on very high heat, so I was delighted when asked to collaborate with @ALLCLAD and @WILLIAMSSONOMA to test and help unveil their All-Clad LTD Sauté Pan, back by popular demand. Needless to say, it has been put to glorious use this week in my home kitchen.

The Perfect T-Bone
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 25 minutes
- Yield: varies
- Category: Dinner
- Diet: Gluten Free
Ingredients
- 1 – 2 Tbs grape seed oil, just enough to coat the bottom
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Steak, 2 inches thick (T-Bone, Ribeye, New York Strip)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 500 F. Salt and pepper the steak very well.
Over high heat, get your pan really hot. Once it’s as hot as it can be, add the grape seed oil. When the oil is hot, place your steak in the pan and sear for 3 minutes on one side, flip, and sear for 3 minutes on the other side. Then place the pan in the oven and cook your steak for 8 more minutes.*
Remove and let rest for 8 minutes. Top with herb butter, compound butter, or clarified butter.
*A rule of thumb is to sear your steak 4 minutes a side (or 3 minutes a side if you like your steak medium-rare, like I do). Then 8 minutes in the oven (9-10 depending on your preferred steak temperature).
