Even the thickest cuts of meat will turn out perfectly with this easy Oven Steak recipe!
Grilling and pan-searing are both fantastic ways to cook steak, but with a thick cut, the outside can get gray and overcooked before the center is done.
I tried this skillet-to-oven method aiming for evenly-cooked steak, and the meat was cooked perfectly!
I will admit that I missed the charred outside a little, but the tender and juicy interior more than made up for it.
I highly recommend using a remote probe thermometer for this recipe so you can make sure to remove the steaks from the oven as soon as they hit the right temperature.
Give this technique a try the next time you have some big, fat steaks and want to cook them just right!

- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat an iron skillet (or other oven safe skillet) over high heat until it is very hot. While it heats, rub butter or oil over the steaks, and sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper evenly over both sides.
- Place steaks in hot pan and cook about 2 minutes per side, just to sear the outside.
- Turn off burner, and carefully transfer hot skillet to oven. Reduce oven temperature to 200 degrees F. Bake for 5 minutes, then carefully flip steaks over and continue baking until internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F for rare or 145 degrees for medium rare.
- Remove steaks to a plate to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

You were not lying about the title of the recipe….wow! For 2 pounds of sirloin at 1.5″ thick I had to leave in the oven about 20 minutes for medium rare. I was questioning myself the whole time even though I was taking the temps. Perfect. My husband told me to not lose this recipe. This is the best EVER I have made! Thank you!
This was absolutely delicious! What would you recommend serving it with?
So glad I found this recipe, my steaks turned out great, quick and easy!
Going to try with with some Bavette steak this very night. Sounds great! I do have trouble with steaks not coming out tender enough, so hoping this will be the ticket to better texture.
Update: I have this recipe bookmarked now. It is the only steak recipe I’ll ever need. They come out tender and juicy every time.
Thank you!
Well, here goes nothing. Lol. I am a terrible steak cooker. They always come out like bricks. I’m trying this recipe and I hope it comes out ok. Wish me luck. I’ll keep you posted. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Is there any way to go about doing this while cooking until it is well done? I tried leaving it in longer so the insides weren’t juicy and were instead brown, but it ended up being overly cooked on the outside, while still not properly cooked on the inside.
You want the inside to be pink and then when it sits for 5 to 10 minutes before the person eats it it will be well done.
Entire Family LOVED this recipe!! My husband is super picky about his steak and he told me to be sure to remember how I cooked them tonight!! Thank you!
Unfortunately I know how you feel about a picky husband!
I just tried this..it was excellent!
