  1. How to bake beef steak in the oven? Start by selecting high-quality grain-fed beef with good marbling, which refers to the streaks of fat running through the meat. It's essential to choose a cut suitable for frying or baking, as the meat's quality directly impacts the final result, ranging from delightful to disappointing. If you have a whole piece of beef, cut the steak to a thickness of 2 cm, slicing it only across the grain of the meat.

  3. Flip the steak and sear the other side for another minute. The goal is to create a golden brown crust on the meat, which helps seal in the juices and prevent it from drying out during the baking process.

  4. Transfer the seared steak to a baking sheet or baking dish with low sides, without greasing it with oil. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius (approximately 400 degrees Fahrenheit) for five to ten minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness. For a medium-rare steak with a slight pink center, bake for ten minutes.

  5. After baking, cover the steak with foil and let it rest for about three minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat and prepares it for serving. Just before serving, season the steak with freshly ground pepper and coarse sea salt to taste. Serve and enjoy your juicy steak!

If you decide to prepare pork steak using this recipe, it's crucial to note that undercooking pork is not recommended. Pork should be cooked to the "well done" stage, ensuring it reaches full doneness with transparent juices or their absence. This precaution is necessary to avoid the risk of encountering harmful microorganisms present in improperly cooked pork.

It's essential to remember the general rule followed by top chefs: incomplete roasting is permissible only for beef, veal, lamb, duck, and freshly caught tuna.

Enjoy your meal!

Keep in mind that individual ovens may vary, so the temperature and cooking time may differ slightly from those specified in the recipe.

Additionally, it's important to note that oils have a smoking point, beyond which they start to burn and produce harmful substances, including carcinogens. Be mindful of this when cooking with oils.

Lastly, selecting the right frying pan is crucial for achieving the best results in your recipe. An improperly chosen frying pan can adversely affect the outcome of even the finest dishes.
