Make the marinade about 35 minutes before you start cooking. Combine pressed garlic and soy sauce in a 9x9 baking dish.
4 cloves garlic, ½ cup soy sauce
Trim any extra fat around the edges of your steaks. Place the steaks into the marinade in the glass dish. Flip them once and place in the fridge.
2 9 oz. Striploin Steaks
After about 30 minutes start preparing the rest of your meal. Preheat oven to 425ºF.
Put the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and put it in the microwave for 10 seconds to melt. Add the mustard and horseradish and mix well. Set aside to let the sauce thicken.
3 tbsp butter, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp horseradish
Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the cast iron skillet. Turn on the burner under the cast iron to medium-high.

The timing here matters so get your timer ready. Place the steaks in the hot cast iron skillet and set timer to 2 minutes. Do not disturb the steaks once in the skillet.
2 9 oz. Striploin Steaks
When 2 minutes are up, flip the steaks and once again set the timer for another 2 minutes. Do not disturb the steaks.
Once the next 2 minutes are up move the whole cast iron skillet into the oven. Set your timer to 4 minutes for medium doneness. The steak should be at 140ºF internal temperature. See notes for additional temperatures.
Remove the cast iron skillet from the oven and move the steaks to a cutting board to rest. Set your timer to 5 minutes.
Serve the steak topped with the Dijon topping.
