Seared Rib Steak

Step 1

Heat a heavy ovenproof skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat your broiler.

Step 2

Pat steak dry with paper towels, then vigorously rub cut side of garlic all over steak, particularly the bone. Season generously all over with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Place steak in hot pan and carefully, using a potholder, transfer pan to broiler. Cook meat until done to taste, about 5 to 7 minutes for rare. Transfer steak to a cutting board, and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
