STEAKHOUSE STEAK IN A PIZZA OVEN
We love our pizza ovens for turning out beautifully charred, ready-in-90-seconds pizzas, but they can do much more than that. They roast veggies in no time, bake fish fillets to moist perfection and even cook steaks like a pro. Here's our method for the latter. While cooking the meat twice may seem unusual, it's a method used by some of the country's oldest and best steakhouses. The blast of high heat at the beginning caramelizes the exterior; slicing the meat, basting with butter and then returning it to the oven adds flavor and moisture while it evenly cooks to your preferred level of doneness.

Steps:
- Preheat the pizza oven for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, rub the steaks all over with 1 tablespoon of the butter each, then season generously with salt and pepper.
- Put a medium cast-iron skillet in the pizza oven and let it heat for 5 minutes. Place the steaks in the skillet, return the skillet to the oven and cook until there is a dark brown crust on the bottom of the steaks, 2 to 5 minutes. Flip the steaks and cook until the other side develops a dark brown crust, 2 to 5 minutes more.
- Transfer the steaks to a cutting board with tongs, reserving the skillet. Holding the steaks in place with the tongs, cut 1/2-inch-thick slices crosswise. Transfer the steaks back to the skillet, pushing the slices together so they all touch. Spread 2 tablespoons of the butter on top of each steak and return to the oven.
- Cook to your desired temperature, basting with the melted butter halfway through. For reference, medium rare was about 2 minutes more for us, but it may vary based on your oven's temperature.
