- 1 extra large , bone in double cut ribeye steak, about 2 ½ inches thick
- 1 tablespoon pink peppercorns, lightly crushed

- 1 teaspoon kosher salt

About one hour before you plan to cook the steak preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Let the steak come to room temperature then lightly spray a cast iron or oven proof nonstick skillet cooking spray. Set the skillet over medium heat. When the pan is warm add the steak let it slowly sear until a nice crust is formed on one side, about 3 minutes. Flip the steak to kiss the other side with heat then move it to the preheated oven .
