Before Cooking
Prepare the steak: Remove the steak from the refrigerator and allow it to sit at room temperature for about three to four hours. This will help it cook more evenly.
Let the steak dry by placing on paper towels, flipping it every half hour to remove any excess moisture.
Generously season both sides with Haddar Kosher Salt and freshly ground black pepper.

When I put it in the oven before Shabbat, should it be uncovered?
How long in the oven for medium rare if serving right away and what should the temperature be?
Yussi suggests for a cowboy steak (bone-in ribeye, typically 2 inches thick), the ideal method for medium-rare when serving immediately is:
1. Oven Temperature: 250°F (120°C) for a slow, even cook before searing.
2. Cooking Time: About 40-50 minutes in the oven, or until the internal temperature reaches 115-120°F (46-49°C).
3. Searing: After resting for 5-10 minutes, sear in a hot cast iron pan or on a grill for about 1-2 minutes per side until the internal temp reaches 125-130°F (52-54°C) for medium-rare.
4. Rest Before Serving: Let it rest another 5-10 minutes to let the juices redistribute before slicing.
If you want a faster method, you can reverse sear at 275°F (135°C) for about 30-40 minutes but still follow the same temperature guidelines.
How long does the meat have to be on 220-230 degrees in the oven if im not doing it for shabbos?
This is what Yussi advises: 1. Preheat Your Oven. Set your oven to 375°F 2. Sear the Steak. Heat a heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat. Add a small amount of oil. Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side, creating a nice crust. 3. Transfer to Oven. Place the skillet with the steak in the preheated oven. Use a meat thermometer to track internal temperature: Cook for 12–15 minutes for medium, depending on the steak's thickness (usually 1.5 to 2 inches). Check at 140 4. Rest the Steak. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows juices to redistribute and the temperature to settle at 145–155°F for medium.
yum looks so good!
