1. Set a cast-iron skillet in the oven and preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
2. Combine sugar, salt, lemon-pepper, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Coat steak with olive oil, then season both sides of meat with spice rub, 1 teaspoon per side.
3. Remove cast-iron skillet from oven and set over high heat on the stove. Lay the steak down in the skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side to brown.
4. Place skillet with steak back into the oven. Bake for about 6 minutes, until steak reaches an internal temperature of 135 to 140 degrees F (for medium-rare).
5. Remove skillet from oven and transfer steak onto a plate. Let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to reabsorb into the steak. Serve.Note
