You can! You can do it either way. For both methods, your best bet is a cast iron skillet. Heat it up on your stovetop over high heat, or in a 450 degree oven until it is HOT. Carefully add the steak and cook for about 5 minutes per side or until it is done to your liking...the best way to figure that out is with a meat thermometer. You are looking for 145 for medium rare all the way up to 170 for well done.
