Steak in the oven

When I first got married I had to learn how to cook and now I'm pretty good at it, but for some reason cooking steak scares me so I always get online and look up ways to help me. This is "How to Cook Steak in the oven website is Tip Deck.com:

1. The oven is the best for cooking steak as it ensures that the insides of the steak are well cooked no matter what size the cut is. This is true especially when you have a very thick cut which can only get charred over an open flame without being cooked properly. For even distribution of heat in larger cuts of meat, you need the oven.
2. In order to make the meat really tender and tasty, you need to marinate the meat beforehand. If done overnight, then the juices can penetrate the insides of the meat making it really tasty after being cooked. Sometimes, you can buy the steaks from the stores which have already been marinated. Otherwise, you can use a mixture of onion powder, dark brown sugar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar and vegetable oil. Cover the meat with the marinade and leave overnight.
3. As you know, the oven has to be preheated before you place the steak in the oven. Place the racks in the correct position for the cut of meat and make sure that the juices don’t spill out while cooking.
4. You have the option of searing the steak in a pan or broiler before putting it in the oven. Make sure that the steak gets cooked evenly on both sides. A broiler is a good way of cooking the meat as you don’t have to keep turning the steak over and over again on the container.
5. Adjust the oven temperature to 325 degrees F and place the steak in the oven. Allow the meat to cook for about half an hour so that the insides are also evenly cooked. It will not take very long to cook the steak as it has already been marinated overnight.

Amazing with potatoes YUM!!!!!
