Perfect Oven-Baked Skirt Steak
A quick and easy guide to perfectly cook a tender, juicy skirt steak in the oven.
Ingredients
- 1 Skirt Steak
- Cooking oil spray
- Salt and Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Season your skirt steak with salt and pepper.
- Spray your pan with cooking oil to prevent the steak from sticking.
- Place the steak in the pan, making sure the pan is large enough for the steak to lie flat and even.
- Once your oven has properly heated, place the steak in the oven for 7 minutes.
- Flip the steak over and cook it on the other side for 3.5-4.5 minutes. For a well-done steak, you can cook it for up to 9 minutes. For a rarer steak, cook for 5-6 minutes.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak. It should be between 145-165°F to ensure it's cooked all the way through and safe to eat.
Notes
- Marinating the skirt steak for a couple of hours before baking can add additional flavor.
- Safety first: Always ensure your steak reaches an internal temperature between 145-165°F to avoid food-borne illnesses.
