Description
Juicy Steaks in the Oven is a simple and reliable method to cook perfectly seared and tender steaks without a grill, using high-heat searing followed by oven roasting.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ribeye or New York strip steaks (1 to 1.5 inches thick)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh or dried rosemary (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Let the steaks sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and rosemary if using.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until smoking hot.
- Sear the steaks for 2 minutes on each side until a brown crust forms.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 5–7 minutes for medium-rare, or to desired doneness.
- Add butter to the skillet and spoon it over the steaks for extra flavor.
- Remove from oven and let steaks rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer for accuracy: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
- Letting the steak rest helps retain juices.
- Try compound butter for a gourmet touch.
