How to cook steak in the oven
People who ask how to cook steak in the oven could be surprised by the answer. You need to pass the steak through the skillet first. It may seem surprising, but browning the steak first will seal the taste and moisture and help you achieve a better texture after taking it out of the oven.The proper seasoning depends on your taste, but you can go very simple by using salt, pepper, and garlic powder spread on both sides before passing the steak on the skillet. The oven temperature should be set at 180 ºF, but you can adjust it to achieve a precise inner temperature depending on the degree of doneness you prefer.

Notes
Useful tips:
- Before starting with step one, it is imperative to have your steak thawed and already at room temperature. To achieve the best texture, you don’t want to cook your steak right away after taking off the freeze.
- We recommend using a thick cut for this recipe. Choose a cut with 1 or 1.5 inches thick.
- If your steak is not very thick, avoid overcooking in the skillet and control the inner temperatures.
- If you’re choosing your steak cut, you may see something called “steak grades.” The highest quality is called USDA Prime, followed by USDA Choice. Lower quality steaks are known as USDA Select.
