Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 30-45 minutes before cooking them. Season generously with salt on both sides. Then, let them sit at room temperature during this period.

Adjust the top rack of your oven so that it’s 3-4 inches away from the broiler. Preheat the broiler for 5-10 minutes.

Brush both sides with a light layer of oil and sprinkle with pepper. Place the steaks on a rack on top of a baking sheet or broiling pan. Transfer the pan to the oven.

Broil for 4-5 minutes per side for medium rare, turning the steaks once about halfway through. Check on the steaks every couple of minutes to prevent them from overcooking. Consider using an oven-safe thermometer for easier monitoring, but a regular digital thermometer works, too.

Rest the steaks at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving.
