  • 1 steak such as ribeye, New York strip, or filet mignon
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Cracked black pepper

  • Optional: Minced garlic

  • If you opt for BBQ sauce, save it for the last 3 minutes of cooking.
    Optional: BBQ sauce

Preheat and Cook:

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Cooking the Steak:

  • Place the seasoned steak on a cooking sheet or in an oven-safe skillet.
  • Roast the steak in the preheated oven for 6 minutes to achieve a perfect sear.
  • After the initial 6 minutes, carefully flip the steak using tongs.

Achieving Desired Doneness:

  • For a medium-rare steak, continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes after flipping.
  • If you prefer a medium-well steak, extend the cooking time to a total of 14 minutes after flipping.

Optional BBQ Sauce:

  • If you've chosen to add BBQ sauce, apply it to the steak during the last 3 minutes of cooking.

Resting:

  • Once the steak reaches your desired level of doneness, remove it from the oven.
  • Allow the steak to rest for a few minutes. This step allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and flavorful outcome.

Serving:

  • After resting, slice the steak against the grain to achieve optimal tenderness.
  • Serve your perfectly cooked buttered steak as a satisfying and delicious main dish.

Notes

  • Cooking times may vary based on the thickness of the steak and personal preferences. Use a meat thermometer to ensure your desired level of doneness is achieved.
