How do I make a well-done sirloin steak in the oven?

Here's how to make a well-done sirloin steak in the oven:

Ingredients:

Equipment:

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the steak dry with paper towels. This helps ensure a good sear.
Season the steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Optional Sear (recommended): Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a drizzle of olive oil (if using). Carefully place the steak in the pan and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned. Searing adds extra flavor but is not necessary.
Transfer the steak to a baking sheet. If you didn't sear the steak, place it directly on the baking sheet.
Cook the steak in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes for well-done. The exact cooking time can vary depending on the thickness of the steak.
For extra doneness: After the initial cooking time, increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes per side, checking the internal temperature with a meat thermometer.
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. For a well-done steak, the internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
Rest the steak for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

Tips:

Don't overcrowd the pan when searing. This can prevent the steak from browning properly.
If the steak is thin, you may need to reduce the cooking time to prevent it from drying out.
Consider adding a pat of butter to the steak during the last few minutes of cooking for extra flavor and moisture.
Basting the steak with pan drippings while it cooks in the oven can add additional flavor.
Be aware that well-done steaks can be drier than steaks cooked to a lower degree of doneness.

Enjoy your delicious well-done sirloin steak!
