- 1 Skirt Steak
- Cooking oil spray
- Salt and Pepper
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.
- 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.
