Total Time
55 minutes

Ingredients

Yield: 1 serving
  • 1 strip steak
  • olive oil for drizzling
  • Windy City Prime Steak Seasoning

Instructions

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place baking rack on top. Preheat oven to 265 degrees F.


Step 2

Drizzle a few drops of olive oil on meat and spread over entire piece so that steak seasoning sticks to meat. Sprinkle with seasoning. 


Step 3

Place meat on baking rack and let sit until at room temperature (up to an hour).


Step 4

Roast steak in oven on baking sheet for 45 minutes to an hour. NOTE: Internal temperature should read 125 degrees F in order to serve a medium rare piece of meat. Meanwhile, turn grill onto high heat. 


Step 5

Lightly oil the grill grates and sear meat for 2 minutes, then rotate 180 degrees and grill an additional minute in order to make nice grill marks. Turn steak to sear other side for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from grill and let rest 5 - 10 minutes.


Step 6

Enjoy!

Finish it with a slice of simple, herbed butter which takes minutes to make, but gives it a restaurant quality flavor.  Try whipping up a compound butter and save the extra for bread, fish, or pasta.   It will melt in your mouth!

Lemon Basil Compound Butter

This compound butter take minutes to whip together, but adds a fabulous finishing touch to steak, fish, pasta or bread. It will last for up to 5 days in the refrigerator or 6 months in the freezer.
