Can I Cook Steak In The Oven?

Absolutely! The trick to cooking steak in the oven is to sear it beforehand. To sear the steak on both sides, use a heavy pan (we use cast-iron) and then move it to the oven to finish cooking. As a consequence, the steak is soft and flavorful.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• ribeye steaks
• olive oil
• steak seasoning
• unsalted butter
• fresh rosemary
• fresh thyme

(Note: Full recipe is at the bottom of the post)

How to Bake Steak

• Warm up a big oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
• Season the steaks liberally with steak spice after rubbing them with olive oil. Sear for 2-3 minutes each side before placing in a prepared oven.
• Bake at 400°F for 10-15 minutes, or until the steaks are cooked to your liking. An instant-read meat thermometer is the best method to tell whether the steak is done. Remove the steaks from the pan and tent loosely with foil for at least 5 minutes. Butter the steaks on top. Serve garnished with rosemary and thyme.

Tips and Tricks

• Remove chilled steaks from the refrigerator approximately 30 minutes before cooking.
• Before searing the steaks, make sure the pan is extremely hot.
• To determine when the steak is done, use a meat thermometer. This is also an excellent method for avoiding overcooking the meat. Even after you remove the steak from the heat source, it will continue to cook. Remove the steak from the oven when it is just below the desired internal temperature since the internal temperature will continue to rise while the steak rests. If you want a medium-rare steak, take it out of the oven when the internal temperature reaches around 140°F. The temperature of the steak will rise while it sits. When the temperature hits 145°F, the steak is ready to serve. The chart below provides a guideline for varying degrees of doneness.

Degrees of Doneness

To determine whether a steak is done to your preference, use this helpful chart as a guideline. Because steak continues to cook after it is taken from the oven, remove it when the internal temperature is a few degrees below the objective. An instant-read thermometer is the best method to verify the doneness of a steak. Insert the probe into the meat’s thickest portion.

• Rare cool, red center internal temp at 125F
• Medium Internal temperature of 135F in the rare heated, red center
• Medium warm, pink center internal temp of 145F
• Internal temperature of 150F medium well somewhat pink center
• Well done, with little or no pink and an interior temperature of 160F.

The FDA recommends a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit with a 3-minute rest period.

How Long Does It Take To Bake Steaks In The Oven?

The baking time is determined by the thickness of the steak, the temperature of the oven, and how you prefer your steak. This baked steak dish calls for 1-inch thick steaks cooked in a 400F oven for 10-15 minutes. A bigger steak roasted in a 450F oven will take around 10 minutes to bake depending on doneness, while a thinner steak broiled would take about 6 minutes each side.

Depending on the thickness of the steak, a rare steak will take around 7 minutes each side and a medium rare steak would take about 10 minutes per side.

What To Serve With Steak

There are several ways to serve steak. Loaded baked potatoes, steamed broccoli or asparagus, creamed spinach, and caesar salad are all traditional sides. Steak goes well with cauliflower au gratin, roasted Brussels sprouts, and sautéed mushrooms.

How to Store Baked Steak

Cool leftover steak to room temperature before storing it in an airtight container. Refrigerate the steak for up to 3 days. You can also freeze leftover steak for 2-3 months by putting it in a freezer-safe container and keeping it in the freezer.
