Instructions

  • Mix together the cola, salt, pepper, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and one tablespoon of oil in a ziplock bag or large shallow boil. Place in the steaks, cover and refrigerate.
  • Let marinate for at least 2 hours and up to 6.
  • Pre heat the oven to 275F / 135c.
  • Place the steak on a lined baking sheet or in an oven proof skillet, and place in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes. For medium rare, the steak should register at 90-95F / 32-35c. Once done, remove the steak from the oven.
  • Add a tablespoon of oil to a skillet with the butter and place on a high heat.
  • Once hot, place the steaks in the pan. Cook on one side for 2 minutes.
  • Flip the steaks over and cook for another 2 minutes whilst basting the top side of the steak with the fat in the pan.
  • Remove the steaks and let rest for 10 minutes, tented with foil, before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Marinate the steak for between 2 and 6 hours for the best flavor. You can marinate it for less time if you are in a rush, but the flavors won't be as pronounced.
  • Make sure that the steak is fully covered in the marinade. You may need slightly more or slightly less depending on the thickness of your steaks and what you are marinading it in.
  • Let the steak come up to room temperature before placing it in the oven. Take it out of the fridge around 30 minutes before you want to cook it.
  • When you sear the steak, have the pan as hot as you can to get those perfect crispy bits. Start heating the pan just before you take the steak out of the oven so it's hot when you are ready to sear. The butter should be bubbling when you add in the steaks.
  • Let the steak rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Remove it from the hot pan, place on a cutting board and loosely cover with foil so that they stay warm.
