Are you tired of not being able to grill your steaks? Don’t worry, cooking a steak in the oven is simple and the end result can be just as delicious. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the process of cooking a juicy and flavorful steak in your oven.
To cook a steak in the oven, follow these steps:
- Season the steak with salt and pepper and rinse off excess seasoning.
- Wrap the seasoned steak tightly in foil.
- Place the wrapped steak in an oven-safe tray or on a baking sheet at 350 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and cook for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Remove the steak from the oven when it reaches an internal temperature of 125 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit, or turn off the oven and let the steak rest inside.
Step 1: Seasoning the Steak
The first step in cooking a great steak in the oven is to season it properly. Grab your steak and place it in the sink. Season it with salt and pepper, making sure to season it generously.
The reason for doing this in the sink is so that you don’t have to worry about cleaning up any excess seasoning. Once you’re done seasoning, rinse the steak thoroughly to remove any excess salt and pepper.
Step 2: Wrapping the Steak
For a juicy steak, wrap the seasoned steak tightly in foil.
This will keep the seasoning from becoming crispy and will also help to retain the steak’s natural juices.
Step 3: Cooking the Steak
Place the wrapped steak in a tray or on a baking sheet and place it in the oven. Set the temperature to 350 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and let the steak cook for 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the thickness of the steak.
To determine if the steak is cooked to your liking, use a meat thermometer and pull the steak from the oven when it reaches an internal temperature of 125 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 4: Letting the Steak Rest
Once the steak has reached the desired temperature, you have two options. You can either pull it from the oven or turn off the oven and let the steak rest inside.
This will allow the steak to continue cooking from residual heat, resulting in a medium-well steak.
Conclusion:
Cooking a steak in the oven is a simple process that can yield delicious results. By following the steps outlined above, you can enjoy a juicy and flavorful steak any time, even if you don’t have access to a grill or smoker. So, don’t be afraid to give it a try and let us know how it turns out!
