I've been rather broke this past summer, so I've been learning how to cook cheap meals that taste classy. Tonight, I made steak with my oven, since I don't have a grille at my apartment. Here's the procedure I used to make it DEEEEEEELICIOUS.
Before you start, you'll need the following:
1. Pre-heat your oven to 400 F and put the Cookie Sheet in there so it warms up for the big cook off.
2. Coat your steak with a teaspoon of olive oil on both sides. Spread it around the steak with the back of a spoon. This will enhance the frying and give it our base flavor.
3. Here's the real fun. Season both sides of the steak with layers of salt and pepper. There's really no "too much" for this recipe. Personally, my steak looked like it had a cocaine addiction by the time i was ready for step 4.
4. Heat your frying pan on the stove-top on medium to medium-high.
5. Once the stove-top is warm, place steak on the pan. Once you lay the steak down, DON'T MOVE IT for 3 minutes. Then flip it, and let that side cook for 2 minutes.
6. Finally, you're ready for the oven. Remove steak from frying pan and place on the cookie sheet in the oven. Bake on 400F for 6-9 minutes (6 for rare, 9 for well done).
7. Take steaks out and place them on a plate or cutting board and tent loosely with foil. Let steaks rest for about 5 minutes. This step is important so that the steak's juices are re-absorbed in the meat.
8. Serve with red wine or... in my case... vodka and grapefruit juice.
Enjoy!
