There are many ways of cooking the steak. It can be cooked both on the grill and the oven. Many people prefer the oven because it is easier to cook the steak. And it tastes delicious too. If you know the exact trick of how to cook steak in oven, you will get a beautifully prepared dish which you can share with your family. You can get the effects of the grill in the oven if you follow the proper recipe. So let us find out how to cook steak in oven without any further ado.

1. The first step is to choose the best cut which will taste good. Depending on your budget, you can get a nice cut from the butcher. A very small cut will cook far too soon and you won’t like the taste. Consider the appropriate weight and thickness which would cook well and also be sufficient for your family. The measurements usually vary between 1 ¼ to 1 ½ inches thickness and 12 to 16 ounces weight.
2. Now for the marinating part. You should take out the steak from the fridge at least half an hour before you start preparations for cooking. This will help to thaw the steak and let it absorb the ingredients after marinating. You can use some olive oil (half cup), soya sauce ( 4 tbsp) and any good steak seasoning (4 tsp) to marinate the steak. This is enough for 2 standard steaks and you can always use more depending on the number of steaks.
3. The time taken to marinate should be a minimum of half an hour. If you want to marinate for a longer time, then you can place the steaks in the fridge. But you must remember to bring it down to room temperature before you place it in the oven. Between the time it takes for the steak to come up to room temperature, you can heat the skillet up. It is also time to preheat the oven so that the steaks cook faster.
4. If you want to provide the grill effect to your steaks, it is wise to sear the steaks on a pan. Place the steaks on a pan over medium heat and allow the steak to get a brown color. Turn over and cook again. It should take about 5-6 minutes each to sear both sides.
5. You can also use a broiler instead of a simple pan. Both the pan and the broiler provide heat on the upper and lower portions of the steaks simultaneously. This helps to provide heat in both directions and you do not need to turn the steak again and again. The steak will cook evenly on all sides. Now you are all set to learn how to cook steak in oven.
6. You can either place the steaks in the oven at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10-12 minutes or at 325 degrees for about 25-30 minutes. However, it is better to cook for a lesser temperature for a longer time as the insides cook nicely too and there is no taste of raw meat.

Eventually you have learnt how to cook steak in oven and are ready to serve the dish. Use a mitt to take out the steaks from the oven. You can either fry or bake some potatoes to go with it. So relish the sumptuous dish and get ready for some earnest compliments.
