When hot add the steaks, and cook on the stove top until golden brown on one side at Least 3 to 4 minutes.  DO NOT TOUCH THEM.  Flip them on other side and put in PREHEATED Oven.  For medium rare you should reach an internal temperature of about 130º to 135º.
                  • Remove steaks from frying pan and let them rest while you make the pan sauce.  Carefully deglaze the pan with several tablespoons of cognac.
