How to sear and bake a steak to perfection?

To sear and bake a steak to perfection, start by seasoning the steak with salt and pepper. Sear the steak in a hot pan for a few minutes on each side to create a crust. Then, transfer the steak to a preheated oven and bake until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
