Ingredients

  • .5 lb steak ribeye preferred for best flavor and best results
  • 1 tbs vegetable oil
  • 1 pat butter

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 250 and set wire rack over the top of a rimmed baking sheet and set aside.
  2. When oven is preheated, place the steak onto the wire rack and place entire baking sheet apparatus on the middle rack in the oven.
  3. Heat until the steak comes to an internal temperature of 110 using an instant read thermometer. If you do not have one, it will take about 20-30 minutes to reach this temp depending on the thickness of your steak.
  4. When the steak is within 20 degrees of final temp, heat 1 tbs of vegetable oil in a frying pan on the stove top over medium high heat until glistening and very hot.
  5. When steak is at 110, remove from the baking sheet and place into the skillet, searing on one side for 1 minute and then flip and repeat on the other side.
  6. Remove the steak to a plate. Place pat of butter on top and allow to rest for 5 minutes

Notes

  • PRO TIP : That little pat of butter is going to make a huge difference in the flavor and juiciness of your steak
  • When ordering your steak at the restaurant, consider if you plan to have leftovers. If you do, choose the doneness of your steak as the least done that you enjoy so that when reheating you won't become overdone.
  • Thicker steaks tend to reheat the best and retain their juiciness better, consider this when choosing steaks.
  • Fattier pieces of meat reheat the best, so if it is in your budget, maybe go for the ribeye. It's one of the more forgiving pieces of steak to cook anyway.
  • Lower temps and retaining fluid is the name of the game here. For the best and juiciest steak, it's going to take a minute.
  • The thickness of your steak will ultimately determine how long the steak must stay in the oven. A 1 ½ inch steak will take about 30 minutes. Thinner steaks will be a shorter rewarming time.
