Here is a recipe for Juicy Steak in the Oven with Garlic, Onion, and Herbs:
Ingredients:
- 2 (1-inch thick) boneless, 1-pound steaks, such as ribeye, New York strip, or sirloin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or parsley
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Season steaks with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add steaks to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned.
- Transfer steaks to a baking dish.
- Add garlic, onion, and herbs to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until softened.
- Pour the onion mixture over the steaks.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until steaks are cooked to desired doneness.
- Let steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- For a juicier steak, let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
- To check for doneness, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the steak. For rare, the internal temperature should be 120 degrees F (49 degrees C); for medium-rare, 130 degrees F (54 degrees C); for medium, 140 degrees F (60 degrees C); for medium-well, 150 degrees F (66 degrees C); and for well done, 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
- Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
Here are some variations of the recipe:
- Different herbs: Other herbs, such as sage, oregano, or basil, can be used in the recipe. Just experiment to find your favorite combination.
- Different vegetables: Other vegetables, such as mushrooms, peppers, or tomatoes, can be added to the skillet with the onion. This will add more flavor and nutrition to the dish.
- Different sauces: The steak can be served with a variety of sauces, such as béarnaise, horseradish, or chimichurri.
