Remove the aluminum foil from the tray and transfer the T-bone steak to a plate. Serve immediately, before the steak begins to dry, which can happen quickly once taken out of the oven. If you're not serving immediately, cover the steak until ready to serve to preserve moisture.

Tips & Warnings
For a rare or medium-rare steak, remove it from the oven 1 to 2 minutes earlier.
This recipe yields one T-bone steak and will serve one person, but the method can be used to cook any number of steaks desired.
Never eat a T-bone steak that has not been thoroughly cooked. The steak should remain in the broiler at least 8 minutes to reduce the risk of contracting a food borne illness.
