Cast Iron Ribeye in a Pizza Oven

900°F does to a steak what a home oven never will. A thick ribeye in a preheated cast iron pan takes about four minutes in the Stoke.

What you need

• A 1.5 inch ribeye
• Salt
• A cast iron pan that fits the oven
• Butter, thyme and garlic

How to cook a steak in a pizza oven

1. Salt the steak an hour ahead and leave it out. A dry surface gives a better crust.
2. Heat the oven 15 to 20 minutes, then slide the empty cast iron pan in for 5 minutes.
3. Put the steak in the hot pan, about 2 minutes a side, and watch it closely.
4. Add butter, thyme and crushed garlic for the last 30 seconds, spooning it over.
5. Rest 8 minutes before cutting. This is not optional.
