You are already getting the pan hot enough to sear, just leave it there a little while longer and it's cooked!

  1. preheat oven to the lowest temperature it will allow trying not to go above 225 degrees Fahrenheit

  2. season steaks your way in a glass bakeware dish and leave uncovered sitting on the counter

  3. place cast iron or carbon steel on stovetop and preheat on 1 until the steaks in the oven are done making sure to keep the cookware wet with preferred oil at a very thin layer

  4. cook steaks in oven still leaving uncovered until center internal temperature reaches 125 for rare or 135 for medium and 140 for well this may take thirty minutes up to an hour

  5. set the burner the cast iron or carbon steel is on to two

  6. after a few minutes cook steak on the cast iron or carbon steel for thirty seconds on each side
