This is the kind of showstopper meal that feels celebratory without requiring a long ingredient list or complicated technique. A thick, bone-in cut gets seasoned simply with kosher salt, black pepper, and good extra-virgin olive oil, then seared hard on a cast iron grill pan until a deep, mahogany crust forms on every surface — including the fat cap and edges. The result is bold, beefy, and deeply satisfying in a way that only a properly cooked steak can be. Because the recipe is built entirely from whole, naturally gluten-free ingredients, there's no need to audit labels or swap anything out — what you see is what you get. The instructions also include clear internal temperature guidance, which is genuinely useful when you're being more mindful about food safety during pregnancy; cooking to the USDA-recommended 145°F with a proper rest gives you peace of mind without sacrificing flavor. Fresh rosemary draped over the resting steak adds a fragrant, herby note, and a squeeze of lemon at the table brightens the whole plate beautifully. It's an impressive, fuss-free dinner that delivers on every level.

Cook all meat thoroughly when pregnant.






Remove the steak from the refrigerator and pat it completely dry with paper towels. Season all surfaces — including the sides — generously with the kosher salt and black pepper. Let the steak rest at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes.
Heat a cast iron grill pan over high heat for 4 to 5 minutes, until the surface is smoking. Brush 1 tbsp of the olive oil over both flat sides of the steak.
