The Perfect T-Bone Steak

Ingredients
1 Large T-Bone Steak, 500 - 700gms
1 Tbspn Olive Oil
1 Tbspn Rice Bran Oil
1 Tbspn Sea Salt
1 Tbspn Coarsely Cracked Pepper


Method
Allow the T-Bone to rest at room temperature for 20 - 30 minutes. Meanwhile, pre-heat the oven to 190 degrees Celcius.


In an oven proof, heavy based fry pan, bring the Olive and Rice Bran Oils to a high heat (near smoking). Rub half of the salt and pepper on to one side of the T-Bone. Place the steak, seasoned side down, on to the fry pan. Carefully season the uncooked side of the steak with the remaining salt and pepper. Then reduce the heat to medium / high.


Cook for approximately 2 minutes (for rare, +1 min medium rare, +2 mins medium, etc). Increase the heat to high and turn the steak over. Cook for approximately 2 minutes (for rare, +1 min medium rare, +2 mins medium, etc).


Carefully place the fry pan into a pre-heated oven allowing the steak to roast for 4 minutes (for rare, +2 mins medium rare, +4 mins medium, etc). Remove the T-Bone from the oven and allow the steak to rest for 8 - 10 minutes. Serve with baked vegetables or a fresh green salad.
