Spicy baked steak



INGREDIENTS 

- 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 1 inch thick)

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 2 garlic cloves, minced

- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

- 1 teaspoon chili powder

- 1 teaspoon ground cumin

- 1 teaspoon onion powder

- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1 tablespoon lime juice

- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)


INSTRUCTIONS 


1. **Preheat the Oven**:

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


2. **Prepare the Steaks**:

   - Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

   - Place the steaks in a large bowl or shallow dish.


3. **Make the Marinade**:

   - In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, chili powder, ground cumin, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, and lime juice.


4. **Marinate the Steaks**:

   - Pour the marinade over the steaks, making sure they are evenly coated.

   - Let the steaks marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. For more flavor, you can marinate the steaks in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours.


5. **Sear the Steaks** (Optional but recommended for extra flavor):

   - Heat a large oven-safe skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat.

   - Add a little olive oil to the pan.

   - Sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a nice crust.


6. **Bake the Steaks**:

   - If you didn't sear the steaks, place them directly in a baking dish.

   - Transfer the skillet with the seared steaks to the preheated oven, or place the steaks from the baking dish into the oven.

   - Bake for about 10-15 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached (use a meat thermometer to check: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).


7. **Rest the Steaks**:

   - Remove the steaks from the oven and let them rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.


8. **Serve**:

   - Slice the steaks against the grain.

   - Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with your favorite sides.


### Tips:

- Adjust the level of cayenne pepper to suit your spice preference.

- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the steak reaches your desired level of doneness.

- Letting the steaks rest is crucial for maintaining their juiciness.


Enjoy your spicy baked steak!
