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!
