How To Cook Steak In The Oven
If you believe that grilling is the only way to cook a perfect steak at home, then think again. For most any cut—skirt, flank, ribeye, even filet mignon—a ripping hot skillet and an oven can get the job done admirably well.
Ingredients :
- 1 lb. steak of your choice
- 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Directions :
- Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 450°. Rub steak with oil; generously season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat a large ovenproof skillet, preferably cast-iron, over high heat until hot and a drop of water immediately sizzles and evaporates. Sear steak until a deeply golden crust forms and steak begins to pull away, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn steak, then immediately transfer to oven.
- Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of steak registers 125° for rare, 135° for medium-rare, and 145° for medium, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Transfer steak to a cutting board. Let rest 10 minutes, then slice against the grain.
- Arrange a rack closest to broiler; turn on broiler. On a baking sheet, rub steak with oil; generously season with salt and pepper.
- Broil steak, turning halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of steak registers 125° for rare, 135° for medium-rare, and 145° for medium, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Transfer steak to a cutting board. Let rest 10 minutes, then slice against the grain.
