Quick answer for
how long does it take to cook a steak in the oven: 5-9 minutes per side.
Depending on the type of steak you are planning on cooking, as well as the thickness, the oven times will vary. Regardless, begin by heating your oven to the broil setting and place your seasoned beef on a baking sheet. Once the oven is heated, place the steak inside and your doneness level you prefer will establish the cooking time. Remember to flip each steak only once.
Rare: 5 minutes per side (150-155 degrees). The center will have a red center and a squishy give to the touch.
Medium Rare: 6 minutes per side (155-160 degrees). The center will be pink and the outside will give resistance to the touch.
Medium: 7-8 minutes per side (160-170 degrees). The inside of the steak will begin to cook at this stage, with browning on the inside. A strong resistance is felt by the touch.
Well Done: 10 minutes per side (170 degrees and above). If you say so. Thoroughly darken on the inside and out. The steak is tough to cut and tough to squish.
Please use the above table to determine how long to cook your steaks in the oven. Always remember to let your steaks breath by having them sit once they finish cooking for about 10 minutes before you cut and serve. If you are using a meat thermometer, pull the steaks away from the heat when they are about 10 degrees lower than your desired cooking level. They will continue to cook while they sit and breathe.
