Cooking Steak in the Oven advice

Sundance_Kid

I usually cook my steak on a griddle pan but wouldn't mind trying to cook the piece of sirloin I have in the oven tonight.

Any tips on how best to cook steak in the oven? On a tray or in a dish or in a piece of tinfoil?

Does it need to be turned? How long should it be in the oven for?

Thanks :P

Is there any particular reason you want to cook it in the oven? It'll take way longer than doing it on the pan and unless you have the oven on anyway for potatoes or something, it's a very energy-inefficient way of cooking a single steak.

You also won't get a nice char on it if you don't at least start it in the pan.

If you eat your steak anything other than extremely well done then, tbh, I can see it being a waste of a perfectly good steak.

Best advice is don't. Use the pan.

Are you serious? The oven is the best way to cook a steak inho. Seared on a pan, the oven does the rest of the work.

I think the op is intending to oven cook without searing.

That very much depends on how you eat it. For a well done steak, I would finish it in the oven. But I eat mine blue so it doesn't go next or near the oven.

Try putting your steak in a 50deg oven for 20 minutes before searing it on a smoking hot pan.
That way you can have your steak blue but warm in the centre.

I like it room temperature in the centre, which my method achieves perfectly.

OP, what are you hoping to gain from oven cooking your steak?

Do it. I do fillet in the oven , 10/15 mins at 180.
Heat is less severe than pan. Beautiful and tender

Didn't expect this many replies, as I said in my OP I generally cook my steak on a griddle pan (or BBQ in the summer months).

I just fancied doing something different and seeing how it tasted in the oven (without searing it either) and just wanted to know on any particular way to cook it.

I am well aware how nice it tastes on the pan.

So did you cook it in the oven in the end?

I didn't cook it in the oven in the end, I too fearful of the reaction of some boardsies if I cook it in the oven

Just used the griddle again.

Hey, no harm in trying it - don't be put off.
It just may be that you'll prefer oven-cooked steaks over grilled or fried.
Each to their own & all that...

Was at a cookery class the other night where the chef recommended browning the outside of the steaks in a hot pan and then putting the pan in the oven for a while to finish the job, though that was for well done steak!
