Introduction

I love eating steak, but I hate cooking it. The last time I tried to cook a steak, I ended up with a dry slab of meat that was not even close to medium rare. This time around, however, I am determined to get it right! My husband loves his steaks medium rare so we are going for a 5 minute cooking time in this recipe. But first things first: let’s talk about what size steak you should buy and how long you need to cook it in the oven at 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Leave the oven door open while it is preheating, and set your timer for 4 minutes.
Place the steaks in the oven and close the door when your timer goes off (or right before).

Place the steaks in the oven and cook them for 4 minutes.

Remove from oven, flip over and cook for another 4 minutes on other side.

Flip steaks over and place them back in oven for 2 minutes.

Now it’s time to flip them over and cook the other side. Remove steaks from oven and place them back on the rack, but this time, facing down.

Return the pan to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius) and bake for 2 minutes more or until medium rare.

Repeat this step one more time for a total of 6 minutes cooking time.

Your steak should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees for medium rare, 160 degrees for medium and 170 degrees for well done.

Steak should be pink when it is finished cooking

If you are cooking steak in the oven at 450, it should be pink in the middle when it is done. If your steak is not quite done, cook for an extra minute or two and check again. If it’s too rare for your liking, try cooking for an extra minute before checking again.

Conclusion

When the steak has finished cooking, it should be pink in the middle. If it isn’t pink enough for your liking, cook it longer until desired doneness is achieved. We hope this guide helps you make delicious steak at home!
