This is a foolproof, quick, and easy way to cook a tender steak in the oven with a crispy, peppery crust. You can easily make a delicious and easy dinner for both weeknights or special occasions by adding loaf bread, a salad and a bottle of wine.
A good steak is worth it.
The first step to cooking great steaks is to purchase great steaks. This can be done by visiting a local butcher who sources the meat from local farms or raises them himself. This meat is often of higher quality and tastes better, so it’s a better choice.
My steak is purchased from a butcher at Bluescreek Farm Meats. Their beef is raised on a nearby farm and dried-aged for at least two weeks. I love their steaks! When you buy from people like them, there is always a difference between the taste and the quality of your steaks.
The bottom line: Get the best steak. It will still be less expensive than dining out, no matter how costly it is. You can expect to pay the highest price for a pound of steak. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Which cut should I buy?
My favorite is rib-eye steaks, but this method can be used with any cut of steak, including rib-eye or T-bone, filet monsieur, strip steak or other.
You should ensure that the steak you purchase is at least 1 inch thick. If it’s less, reduce the cooking time and check it early to avoid overcooking. It would help if you also looked for steaks with white fat at the edges and good fat marbling the inside.
A pound of steak can easily feed two people and can be extended to feed three or four more.
Our 15-Minute Oven Technique
This process takes about 15 minutes. Before you begin cooking, have the rest of the meal prepared, the candles lit, and the wine poured. Before you know it, you’ll have a perfectly juicy and medium-rare steak with crispy edges. This is our favorite method of cooking steaks. It’s much easier than grilling.
