Steaks are a great source of protein, iron, and essential vitamins and minerals. They also contain healthy fats, including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Steaks are low in carbohydrates, making them a fantastic option for those following a low-carb or ketogenic diet.
Steaks can also be a great source of B vitamins, including B6, B12, and niacin.
Finally, the high levels of zinc found in beef provide several health benefits, such as boosting the immune system and aiding in the digestion of carbohydrates and fats.

With the right cut of steak and a few simple steps, you can make a perfectly cooked steak that is sure to impress.

Here’s how to make a delicious steak cooked on a cast iron skillet:

Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a cast iron skillet, preheat the oil over medium heat.
Pat the steak dry using paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Once the skillet is hot, add the vegetable oil.
Place the steak in the skillet, then sear it for 2-3 minutes on each side until it develops a nice brown crust.
Add the garlic, butter, and thyme to the skillet. Baste the steak with the melted butter and continue cooking it for another minute or two.
Now, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the steak for about 8-10 minutes, medium-rare or longer if you prefer it well done.
Finally, remove the skillet from the oven and let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
