Ingredients
Steak and Marinade
- 1 lb steak (sirloin or similar)
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the steak evenly.
- Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a flavorful marinade.
- Coat Steak: Place the steak in a baking dish and generously coat it with the prepared garlic balsamic marinade, ensuring all sides are covered for maximum flavor.
- Bake Steak: Bake the marinated steak in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, adjusting time depending on the thickness of the steak and your preferred level of doneness.
- Rest Steak: Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes; this allows the juices to redistribute for a juicy and tender bite.
- Serve: Slice the steak against the grain and serve warm. Pair with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
Notes
- Searing the steak in a hot pan before baking can add extra flavor and a beautiful crust.
- Add vegetables like asparagus, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes to the baking dish for a complete one-pan meal.
