How to make steaks in the oven
To make steaks in the oven, start by preheating your oven to a high temperature, typically around 450°F (230°C) to ensure a good sear on the steaks. Season the steaks generously with salt, pepper, and any desired herbs or spices. Heat an oven-safe skillet or cast-iron pan over high heat on the stovetop and add a bit of oil.
Once the pan is hot, sear the steaks on each side for a few minutes until they develop a golden-brown crust. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and continue cooking the steaks to the desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steaks - 125°F (52°C) for rare, 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium, and 160°F (71°C) for well-done.
For added flavor, you can baste the steaks with butter, garlic, and herbs while they cook in the oven. Rest the steaks for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute and the meat to relax, resulting in a more tender and juicy steak.
When making steaks in the oven, it's essential to monitor the cooking time and temperature carefully to achieve the desired level of doneness. Let the steaks rest before slicing and serving to ensure a delicious and perfectly cooked dish. Experiment with different seasonings, marinades, and cooking techniques to create a variety of flavorful steak dishes that will impress your family and guests.
