Ever wanted to learn how to make a fancy steak dinner at home without a grill? Learning how to broil steak in the oven is easier than you think and makes for a delicious meal, whether you're having at-home date night or hosting friends.
0 BEFORE you fire up the broiler, place the rack 4-6” from the broiler/top of the oven. (The closer it is, the faster the steak will cook and the more caramelized it will get. I’ve found that we like it better closer to the broiler because it gives it more flavor, as well as cooks faster. BUT you want the steak to be at least 2.5-3" away from the broiler, as any closer could cause some flare ups.)
1 Preheat the broiler. It should be around 550°F.
2 Line a small baking sheet with sides with aluminum foil.
3 Season [wprm-ingredient text="10 oz. top sirloin steaks" uid="0"] with [wprm-ingredient text="½ teaspoon kosher salt" uid="1"] and [wprm-ingredient text="½ teaspoon black pepper" uid="2"], and place it in the oven.
4 Broil for 4 minutes, and then flip using tongs.
5 Broil for 3 minutes to cook the other side. Take the internal temperature of the steaks. Be sure to remove the steaks when they are within 5 degrees of your ideal internal temperature. It will continue to cook when you remove it from the oven.
6 Remove from the oven, and transfer to a plate.
7 Cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest for 5-10 minutes. This is important to redistribute the juices of the steak. If you cut it too early, all the juices will run out!
8 Once the steaks have rested, top with [wprm-ingredient text="1 tablespoon salted butter" uid="3"] (or a compound butter of your choosing), slice it and serve with your favorite sides for an at-home steak dinner!
