Ooh! OP hurts!

Preheat oven to 500 (yes 500!) after bringing meat to room temp.

Add a light coat of canola (rapeseed) oil to each side of 1 1/2" - 2" cuts, salt and pepper as well.

Cast iron pan on high heat. Sear each side about 45 seconds. Don't press on them!

In the oven now for 2-3 minutes a side. (Don't over cook!)

Let rest on a luke warm plate with foil over the top for 3-5 minutes.

Add a pat of butter (bacon and/or mushrooms and/or grilled onions pretty good, too), eat slowly.

This is for those who really want to taste the unadulterated meat...for purists, if you will. No breading, no strange seasoning mix, etc.
