Cooking Steak in Oven at 400F

Steak is one of the most delicious foods in existence, but sometimes we don’t want to deal with all that grillwork. Luckily there’s an easy solution: oven-baked steaks! Here is our step-by-step guide on how you can make perfect cuts every time using simple ingredients from your kitchen pantry. Now get cooking because this dish doesn’t need any more excuses not to be made at home over and over again.

Step One: Selecting the Best Cut

A well-made ribeye is a joy to cook, and it’s easy once you get the hang of things. First of all, look for one inch thick steaks with ample marbling throughout-if you want your oven baked meat nice an juicy.

Step Two: Preheating the Oven at 400F

Make sure the oven is at least 400°F before you start cooking. This will ensure a juicy steak and avoid prolonged exposure of meats to temperature, which often leads to drying out or burning during preparation processes.

Step Three: Drying the Steak before cooking

Once your oven is preheated, prep the steak well. First of all, pat it dry with a towel to remove all that excess moisture which otherwise will delay browning process while cooking.

Step Four: Seasoning

The simplest way to season your oven-baked steak is with salt and pepper. But if you want a little more flavor, try some of these other great ideas and spice it up a little. Also, you can use steak sauce, dressing, onion, and garlic for seasoning as you please. You got tons of options when it comes to seasoning, experiment a few times and find out which one becomes your favorite.

Step Five: Heating the Oil

If you are using marinade or using sufficient marbling, you won’t have to heat up oil in the skillet for browning. On the other hand, if you are using dry seasoning, you would want to heat up an iron skillet for 3-4 minutes, and add 2-3 tsp of your favorite oil to sear the steak. Make sure, the skillet is super-hot when searing the outside of the steak without cooking it from the inside.

When you want a steak that is cooked just right, place it in the heated oil with meat tongs to avoid splatters. Leave the meat alone for 2-3 minutes or until its rich and dark brown color develops from searing process; then flip over and let the other side cook for 1-2 minutes.

Step Six: Bake the Steak

Place the skillet or oven safe cooking pan inside the oven and let it cook for 10-12 minutes. Overall time depends upon the thickness of the steak. You may want to use the meat thermometer in order to check the doneness.

Step Seven: Rest and Serve the Steak

After oven-baking the steak for at least 10 minutes, remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for at least 7-9 minutes. The rest allows the juices to distribute evenly throughout the steak for ultimate deliciousness. You may cover the steak to retain the heat while it rests.

After 7-9 minutes, remove the foil, dish out the steak and serve with your favorite sauce and drink. Bon Appetit!
