Cooking steak in the oven without searing is a simple process that can result in a delicious, evenly cooked piece of meat. Here's a basic method for cooking steak in the oven without searing:

Ingredients:

  • Steak (your preferred cut)
  • Olive oil (or any cooking oil)
  • Salt and pepper (or your favorite steak seasoning)

Instructions:

  1. Take the steak out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature. This helps ensure more even cooking.

  2. Preheat your oven to a relatively high temperature. A common temperature for cooking steak in the oven is around 400°F (200°C). However, you can adjust this based on your desired doneness and the thickness of the steak.

  3. While the oven is preheating, prepare the steak by brushing a thin layer of olive oil (or your preferred cooking oil) on both sides. This will help the seasoning stick to the steak and prevent it from drying out in the oven.

  4. Season the steak generously with salt and pepper (or your favorite steak seasoning) on both sides. You can be creative with the seasoning to match your taste preferences.

  5. Place the seasoned steak on a wire rack set on top of a baking sheet. The wire rack allows the heat to circulate around the steak, ensuring even cooking.

  6. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the steak, making sure it's not touching bone or the baking sheet. This will help you monitor the internal temperature and cook the steak to your desired level of doneness.

  7. Put the baking sheet with the steak in the preheated oven and cook until the desired internal temperature is reached. Here are approximate cooking times for different levels of doneness (these can vary based on the thickness of the steak):

  • Rare: 120-125°F (49-52°C) internal temperature (about 10-12 minutes).
  • Medium-rare: 130-135°F (54-57°C) internal temperature (about 12-15 minutes).
  • Medium: 140-145°F (60-63°C) internal temperature (about 16-18 minutes).
  • Medium-well: 150-155°F (66-68°C) internal temperature (about 20-22 minutes).
  • Well-done: 160°F (71°C) internal temperature (about 24-26 minutes).

Remember, these times are approximate and can vary based on your oven's actual temperature and the steak's thickness. It's crucial to rely on the meat thermometer for accuracy.

  1. Once the steak reaches your desired level of doneness, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Resting the steak allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier and more flavorful final product.

That's it! You can serve your oven-cooked steak with your favorite sides and sauces. Enjoy your meal!
