Description
This Delmonico steak recipe cooked in the oven delivers rich, juicy, restaurant-quality flavor with a crispy crust and a tender center—perfect for a hearty weeknight meal or special dinner.
Ingredients
2 Delmonico steaks (about 1.25 to 1.5 inches thick)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Let the steaks rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
Pat steaks dry with a paper towel. Season generously with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 2–3 minutes per side until a golden crust forms.
Add butter, garlic, thyme, and Worcestershire sauce to the pan. Spoon the mixture over the steaks for 30 seconds.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 5–7 minutes for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preferred doneness.
Remove steaks, cover loosely with foil, and rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Always rest the steak after cooking to lock in the juices.
For extra flavor, you can dry-brine the steaks overnight with salt in the fridge.
Adjust oven time depending on the steak thickness and desired doneness. Use a thermometer for best results (125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).
