Question 1

How to cook steak in the oven?

Accepted Answer

Cooking steak in the oven is a convenient method for especially thicker cuts. The steak is cooked in the oven at a low temperature with oil and aromatics such as garlic and herbs. This step is to ensure the desired core temperature. After that, you sear it in a hot skillet or pan for a few minutes on each side.

Question 2

How to tenderize steak?

Accepted Answer

You can tenderize the steak by using a meat mallet to pound it, which is placed between pieces of plastic wrap. Salting the steak up to an hour in advance can break down the proteins and soften the meat. Another method is to use a marinate, for which we have an article (“All the Ways to Marinate, Rub, and Grill This Summer”) in which we introduce you to different marinade profiles. A common method used in Chinese cuisine is called velveting, which uses either only baking soda or a starch slurry to mix with the meat.

Question 3

How long to grill a steak?

Accepted Answer

The cooking time of a steak can vary depending on the thickness. In this recipe, a steak with a thickness of 4–5 cm is used, which needs 50–60 min. in the oven. In addition, 2 minutes per side are added to sear the steak in a hot pan.

Question 4

How to cook steak?

Accepted Answer

The perfect steak is first cooked in the oven at a low temperature with oil and aromatics such as garlic and herbs to reach the desired core temperature. It is then seared in a pan to obtain a light crust and roasting flavor. Leave to rest for approx. 10 min. before serving to prevent too much juice from releasing when cut.

Question 5

How to reheat steak?

Accepted Answer

To reheat steak while avoiding it becoming dry, take it out of the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature. Preheat your oven to 120°C/250°F, wrap the steak in aluminum foil to help retain moisture during reheating and place in the oven for about 15–25 min. If possible, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 54–55°C/129–131°F for medium-rare, 60°C/140°F for medium, and 66°C/151°F for medium-well. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Alternatively, you can reheat steak on the stovetop by using a skillet. Heat the skillet over medium heat, add a bit of oil, and gently reheat the steak on both sides until it's warmed through.

Question 6

How long to let the steak rest?
