How To Cook a Steak in the Oven – Broiled Strip Steak
Instructions
  1. Rest – Let the steak rest for 20 – 30 minutes outside the fridge, prior to cooking
  2. Cut small slits into the fat side of the steak (opposite of the bone). This will prevent the steak from curling up as it broils.
  3. Season – You can simply use salt and pepper or, if you’re looking for something, different then try our Big Tasty Steak Rub
  4. Pre heat the broiler AND the pan. Always use the high broiler setting.  Also, the top of steak should be no more than about 4 – 5 inches from the broiler itself.  Place the pan under the broiler for about 5 -7 minutes, let it get nice and hot. A.  If you’re unsure of the distance from the broiler, check this first before pre-heating and adjust oven shelf accordingly. It’s just much easier to do this step before the pan is hot!
  5. Remove pan and place steak on grates. Be careful when you remove the broiling pan, it will be hot.
  6. Place steak in oven. Cook about 3 minutes / side for medium rare or until it reaches the desired temperature.
  7. As always, let your steak rest at least 5 minutes. If you cut into it too early, you’ll lose all those tasty juices.
