Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) to ensure it’s ready for finishing the steaks.

Finally, the steak emerges with a crust that’s fragrant with herbs and garlic, the butter melting into every crevice, promising a bite that’s juicy and bursting with flavor.

  • 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • a small handful of fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F, letting it warm up while you prepare the steaks.
  2. Rub the steaks all over with olive oil, then season them evenly with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the steaks for 2 minutes on each side to get a nice crust.
  4. While the steaks sear, whisk together the Dijon mustard and maple syrup in a small bowl.
  5. After searing, brush the steaks generously with the maple Dijon glaze, then sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness.
  7. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain to serve.

Resting the meat ensures it stays juicy, and slicing against the grain guarantees tenderness. The glaze caramelizes beautifully in the oven, creating a sticky-sweet crust that contrasts wonderfully with the savory steak. Try serving it over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes or alongside roasted autumn vegetables for a cozy, complete meal.

Oven-Roasted Steak with Red Pepper Coulis

Oven-Roasted Steak with Red Pepper Coulis

Venturing into the kitchen tonight feels like a quiet rebellion against the rush of everyday life. There’s something deeply comforting about the slow transformation of simple ingredients into a meal that feels like a warm embrace.

Ingredients

  • A couple of ribeye steaks, about 1 inch thick
  • A splash of olive oil
  • A pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 large red bell peppers, seeded and chopped
  • A tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
  • A clove of garlic, minced
  • A cup of chicken stock

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. This ensures a perfectly roasted exterior with a juicy interior.
  2. Rub the steaks with olive oil, then season both sides with salt and pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  3. While the steaks rest, heat a splash of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped red peppers and garlic, sautéing until they’re soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  4. Pour in the balsamic vinegar and chicken stock, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook down until the liquid reduces by half, about 10 minutes. Tip: The coulis should coat the back of a spoon when it’s ready.
  5. Transfer the pepper mixture to a blender, blending until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve for an extra silky texture.
  6. Heat an oven-safe skillet over high heat. Sear the steaks for 2 minutes on each side to develop a rich, caramelized crust.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 6-8 minutes for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F. Tip: Use a meat thermometer for precision.
  8. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every bite is succulent.
  9. Serve the sliced steak drizzled with the red pepper coulis. The vibrant sauce not only adds a pop of color but a sweet and tangy contrast to the savory meat.

Layers of flavor unfold with each bite, from the charred edges of the steak to the smooth, slightly sweet coulis. Consider pairing it with a crisp green salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal that’s as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palate.

Bacon-Wrapped Oven-Baked Steak

Venturing into the kitchen tonight feels like a quiet rebellion against the rush of everyday life, where the simple act of wrapping steak in bacon becomes a moment of mindfulness.

  • one 1.5 lb ribeye steak, about 1.5 inches thick

  • a teaspoon of garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and let it warm up while you prepare the steak.
  2. Pat the steak dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
  3. Season both sides of the steak with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, pressing the spices gently into the meat.
  4. Wrap the bacon strips around the perimeter of the steak, securing them with toothpicks if necessary.
  5. Heat a splash of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
  6. Sear the steak for 2 minutes on each side to develop a rich, golden crust.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F on a meat thermometer.
  8. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.

The bacon crisps into a savory frame around the steak, its fat rendering into the meat for an extra layer of flavor. Serve it sliced atop a warm, crusty bread to catch every drop of juice, or alongside a bright, crisp salad to cut through the richness.
