When you are cooking a steak for yourself for others, you want to get it just right. Maybe you are used to flame grilling your steaks or cooking them some other way than baking.
You may be wondering how to cook steak in the oven and what you do differently when baking compared to grilling or cooking steak on the stovetop.
I’ll share with you my method to cook steak in the oven perfectly every single time. This is really simple, and it makes a steak come out just the way you want it to.
How Long to Cook Steak in Oven?
You’ll find different answers for this question based on what people want out of their steak. Do you want yours well done or medium? The length of time you’ll need to cook your steak depends on how thick it is as well.
The cooking temperature you use comes into play too. Cooking at a lower temperature means the steal will have to cook for longer.
What temperature to cook steak in oven? Usually, you don’t want to turn the oven up too high, as that will cook the outside much faster than the inside, and you’ll have a steak that’s not cooked very evenly all the way through.
Steak is a denser meat than chicken, so it usually needs to be cooked at a lower temperature for a longer period of time.
What temperature to cook steak in oven so that it’s fully and evenly cooked? I recommend cooking your steak at 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
You can season your steaks before you put them in the oven, and once the oven is heated all the way, you can place the steaks on a baking pan and put them in the oven.
Once they’re in there, how long to cook steak in the oven? They should cook for about 20 to 25 minutes when you’re cooking at 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
You’ll want to change the cooking time based on what temperature you’re cooking at, and you also want to change it based on how done you want the steak to be. This will give you a steak that’s a little pink in the center and dark brown on the outside.
To get a nice, crispy exterior, you can sear the steak in a frying pan for about 30 seconds on each side, once it comes out of the oven.
How to Cook Ribeye Steak in Oven
You might not think you can get a tender, juicy ribeye steak cooked in the oven. However, this isn’t a meat that needs to be cooked on the grill for it to come out perfectly.
It surprised me too the first time I cooked ribeye steak in the oven and experienced it for myself. If you’re a fan of juicy steak that’s easy to make, then I definitely suggest giving this method a try.
You want to use steaks that are refrigerated rather than frozen for best results. You can wrap them in parchment and rub them with about a teaspoon of salt (assuming about three ribeye steaks).
Leave that in the fridge for about 2 hours before you start cooking to help take some of the extra dampness from the meat.
When you are ready to cook the meat, unwrap them and pat them dry. Preheat your oven to 375 Fahrenheit and season your steaks with a dry rub.
You may want to use black pepper, some more salt, and perhaps onion powder or garlic powder as well. Sprinkle the dry rub lightly and allow the steaks to sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
Next, use medium-high heat to warm an iron skillet on the stovetop. Place the steaks in there in sear them for about 2 minutes on each side and then put your skillet and steaks in the oven for two minutes.
Next, turn off the oven and let the steaks cook in there for about 7 more minutes in the oven. You can take them out earlier or later than that depending on how done you want them to be.
Allow the steaks to rest before serving them.
How to Cook Bone-In Steak in the Oven
This is another steak you’re going to cook in the oven and in a skillet as well. That combination helps to give your steak a perfectly browned look.
Before you cook your steak, take it from the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then, preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
On high heat, warm up a large skillet on the stovetop and season your steak with salt and pepper generously. Add a little oil to the skillet when it heats up and then add the steak.
When the steak is in the skillet, lower the heat a little bit and cook the steak for about four minutes on both sides to brown it.
Once it is brown, move this whole skillet to the oven with the steaks in it and then roast for about 7 minutes. The internal temperature should reach 120 degrees Fahrenheit, if you’re aiming for a medium-rare steak.
How to Cook Steak in the Oven with Foil
Finally, I’ll show you how to cook steak with foil in the oven. The directions I’m giving you are for a medium steak. Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and pat your steak dry, cutting off the extra fatty tissue.
Rub olive oil on the steak and season with salt, black pepper, and whatever other seasonings you want. Seal the stake tightly in aluminum foil and place on a baking tray to cook for 30 to 40 minutes.
For a medium steak, you’ll want it to reach 140 degrees Fahrenheit internally. Allow it to rest for five minutes when cooked.
When the steak comes out of the oven, the foil will be very hot, and you want to open it carefully. Watch for escaping steam as you open the foil as well.
