  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees (200 C.).
  • Cover the bottom of a broiling pan with silver foil.
  • Place the steaks on the grate (of the broiling pan)and season with salt and pepper (yes plain salt and pepper).
  • Put in preheated oven.

  • Enjoy!
Comments
The sauce will work with just about any cut of beef or pork. Just remember to adjust the temp accordingly!

Try this - instead of parsley use garlic powder or minced garlic. This works with just about any spice...as long as the taste matches beef.

This goes great with baked potatoes - you can add the extra butter to the baked potato.

If you like wine...a nice White Zen matches very well.
