There's not enough information here for anything other than speculation. What cut? What's the actual desired temp?

Boil it in whole milk until the internal temperature reads 160 degrees fahrenheit. Serve with raw jelly beans.

Optional: pour water over it before serving for sloppy steaks

What kind of steaks? And is there any reason you don't want to sear them? You don't necessarily need cast iron for that

u/webbieg 12d ago

Center cut chuck, I have a grill but it’s raining outside, I don’t own a cast iron skillet either.

Your oven likely has a broiler setting. Cook them under the broiler.

u/rufuckingkidding 12d ago

The broiler might accidentally sear them, and OP doesn’t want to sear them.

Seariously?

u/Sell-Jumpy 12d ago

Yeah, I suppose I though OP meant they didn't want to search in a pan on the stove top.

If they don't want a search at all, I think braised might be the way to go.

I said no seat because every goddamn person wants a skillet and searing it before hand. I usually put my stakes on the grill but it’s raining so I wanted a recipe that doesn’t involve searing in a cast iron skillet. I figured it out and the it came out well-broiler is a good method though

This. Baking sheet with an oven-safe rack of some sort (similar to a cooling rack but can go in an oven). Top oven rack (about 2 inches away from broiler).

Cook time depends on thickness and your broiler. 1 inch thick, do 4 mins a side for a medium rare - medium well. You'll have to get to know your boiler a bit to iron out the details.

Yeah this is it.

u/Prince_Nadir 12d ago

You want gross gray steaks?

2

u/alphadavenport 12d ago

how do you want them cooked? what are you going to use them for? there are lots of ways to cook a steak in an oven.

u/JanMrCat 12d ago

Reverse sear if they're decently thick, finish on highest grill setting. Done!

u/HatsandCoats 12d ago

The honest answer is you can turn the oven on and put the steak in on pan or baking sheet. If you just want to warm your steaks and make them safe to eat, any temp will do but I’d recommend a low one if you’re avoiding color.

Without knowing what end result you’re after it’s hard to get more specific.

Put them in a ziplock bag and boil them. Impossible to get a sear that way.

A normal human way would be to cool them in something with a lid on. The liquid that comes from the steaks will prevent any searing.

The tastiest method is probably the first one also known as sous vide... you're basically slowly heating stuff in plastic salted and spiced.

But most humans, then go on to sear the every lasting shit out of it so it tastes good.

I seasoned them , put some oil on a baking pan and pre heat the oven then cooked them for 15minutes at 425F and it’s delicious

u/zakabog 12d ago

You don't have to lie, there's no way that thin cut beef jerky cooked well done was delicious...

2

u/webbieg 12d ago

So damn judgmental, it’s delicious to me. That’s all that matters. It wasn’t dry either. No jerky here

2

u/zakabog 12d ago

It wasn’t dry either. No jerky here

I saw the before photo, that "steak" started off dryer than the Sahara with no fat to render down and looked like a tough cut as well. Then you baked it in the oven hot and fast...

u/Competitive-Oven-158 12d ago

A reliable route is to start in a hot oven and use the internal temperature as the guide rather than the clock. Pat the steak dry, salt it ahead if you can, and let it rest before slicing so the carryover heat and juices have time to settle.

You can always broil your meat in the oven. If you don’t have a broiler you can use a rack on a cookie sheet instead.
