    This steak was perfect! I didn't have any excessive amount of smoke like others stated. There is no need to add any extra seasonings. It is perfect as is. The steak was juicy and tender, and the best steak I have ever made. This will be my only method for steak in the future. Thanks Alton for another wonderful recipe and cooking method.

    Delicious and easy!I did add seasoning after I oiled the steak. I used canola oil and had no problem with smoking, as noted in some other reviews. It smoked a little when I first placed it in the pan, but that didn't last long. No windows open either as the weather was too cold. I don't eat steak often, but will definitely use this method again. Thanks Alton!

    Used this recipe for a couple of 1lb. grass fed ribeyes tonight. My husband told me it was "the best steak I have ever had".

    P.S. We live in an apartment. Our place filled with smoke. Needless to say, the whole complex knew what were had for dinner!

    Love You, Alton !!!
    This is a quick easy recipe, turns out perfect
    every time, and can easily be modified....
    I cooked a VERY thick steak last night using
    this method, boy I love my Cast Iron pan....the steak was prob 2 inches thick,
    I seared 2 minutes per side, then 2 minutes per side in oven.
    Was absolutely perfect juicy med-rare.
    That's the thing, once you are handy with this recipe, you can easily
    modify it to get the doneness you seek.
    half hour before cooking, I sprinkled it with a homemade rub
    I had on hand, and had it with a side of raspberry chipotle sauce to which I added
    ground black pepper ~ YUM !
    That pan will be SMOKIN HOT, all you newer chefs, good potholder is a MUST !!!

    How in the world did I ever doubt you Alton??? We recently purchased a naturally raised 4-H Angus steer, a Regional Champion no less. My husband could not get the Big Green Egg working....never let the charcoal get wet through the winter!!! So I did Filet in an iron skillet, with bacon wrapped around it. TOTALLY AWESOME!!! Very very easy as well.

    Holy Cow!! (pun intended This recipe is amazing!!! And as advertised the smoke is ridiculous. If you live in an apartment, be prepared.

    Back to the steak. Better than 95% of restaurants. Outside of the top of the line steak houses (Ruth's Chris, Mortons etc this steak is better than the rest!
    Absolutely amazing!

    Just tried this one for the first time. I agree on the smoke comments. Consider the times as starting points. Those times made for a VERY rare steak... for me, but I'm sure that those times make them burned for others. But the method is great! This is now in my cookbook.

    This is a great recipe....if you want to meet the local fire department. Don't get me wrong, it produces a delicious steak...and copius amounts of smoke as the steak sears. If you have an alarm system, it will get set off, and they will send the fire department, so if you use this recipe, make sure you put enough steaks on to feed the nice firemen who show up to put out the fire!

    I'll need to experiment with cook times, although, this was a delicious way to prepare rib eye.

    Yummy! Great method if you don't want to fire up the grill. Also more consistent than the grill. Open some windows, this will smoke up the house.
