Ingredients
- 4 top sirloin beef medallions, each about 1 ¼ inches (3 cm) thick (see note)

- Meanwhile, on a large plate, coat the meat with the oil. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Place the meat on the hot cast iron pan. Watch out for splattering. Bake with the door closed for 4 minutes, turning the steaks over halfway through, for rare or until the desired doneness is reached.
- Let the steaks rest on another plate for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with green salad or mashed potatoes, if desired.
