Cooking Steaks in the Oven of Your Gainesville Apartment

Are you in the mood for a nice, juicy steak for dinner, but you don’t own a grill and you don’t feel like going to some fancy steakhouse to eat? No problem! You can cook a delicious steak right at home in your oven. And while there’s more to it than just throwing any cut of meat into the oven, following these steps should have you eating like royalty in no time:

• Make sure to choose the right size cut of meat when you’re cooking in the oven. Considering the thickness and weight is very important, because you could easily over cook a steak that’s too thin. Try to get a thick steak between 1 ¼ and 1 ½ inches. An ideal weight would be anywhere between 12 and 16 ounces.
• Marinating your steak before you put it in the oven will ensure that it is bursting with flavor. No matter if you’re using olive oil, soy sauce, steak sauce, spices, or simply salt and pepper, it is best to marinate your steak and let it sit for a few minutes before putting it in the oven.
• Sear the steak before you put it in the oven. Heat your burner to a medium-high heat and then place your marinated steak inside for about 5 minutes. Turn the steak over for another 5 minutes so both sides are seared.
• The last step is to put your steak in the oven. You can quickly cook it to your liking at 425 degrees.
