Sear: Sear the meat on all sides in a large pan with butter or on the grill until it’s fully browned, and the fat edge is nicely crunchy.
Transfer: Move the meat to the preheated oven, place the seared steak in an ovenproof dish, and add the cooking juices.

Measure: Always check the core temperature for these cuts. Use the temperatures in the chart.
