So you have asked the infamous question How long does it take to cook a steak in the oven? Well let’s seen if we can help.

If you’re going to cook your steak in the oven then I would seriously suggest that you broil it. Broiled steak is the best it’s so juicy and tender. That is if you don’t over cook it. To me there really is no other way. Broiled steak is delicious.

Set and pre heat your oven to the broil setting and while you are waiting for your oven to preheat rub your steaks with olive oil, salt and fresh ground pepper. Depending upon the cut of meat you have purchased if it is a less expensive cut of meat you may want to consider using a different seasoning other than salt such as an Adolph’s meat tenderizer. It tends to darken the meat some but it does give it the same flavor as salt. If you have a good cut of beef then a nice kosher salt will do just fine.

Different size steaks will require different broiling times. Depending upon whether you like your steak raw, medium or well done also plays a role in the cooking process. Whether or not you are cooking one steak or many may also make a difference when broiling your steaks in the oven. Do to the number of steaks being broiled cooking times mary vary slightly.

The following are recommended cooking times but keep in mind the different variables that may affect cooking times. If your steak is 3/4 of an inch inch thick and you want your steak medium rare then I would suggest 4-5 minutes per side and if you have a meat thermometer the meat should reach 145 degrees. For a Medium steak 6-7 minutes per side and the meat should reach a temperature of 160 degrees. To deterimine when your meat is ready it is best to use a meat thermometer. Most people don’t have a meat thermometer and tend to cut their steak open to see if it is done. Doing this can cause all of the juices to run out of your meat so it isn’t highly recommended.

After the steak is done let it stand for 5 minutes this lets the juices flow through your meat from the top down to the bottom making it juicy and flavorful. Serve with a baked potato and vegetables or your favorite sides. Steaks go great with just about anything depending upon what you have in your kitchen. Steaks and fries are also a good combo. Maybe a nice broccoli casserole. I hope you will be delighted!
