Pizza Oven Steak
Perfectly seared and juicy, this steak gets a rich, flame-kissed crust and tender interior—thanks to the high heat of your pizza oven.
Ingredients
- Steak ribeye or sirloin
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Butter
Instructions
- Preheat your pizza oven to around 650°F to 750°F (343°C to 399°C). This high heat gives your steak a perfect sear.
- Remove steaks from the fridge 30-45 minutes before cooking.
- Coat with olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper.
- Add optional herbs or garlic if desired for extra flavor.
- Place a cast iron pan in the oven for about 15 minutes until very hot.
- Add the steaks and cook for about 2-4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness.
- Remove from the oven and let the steak rest under foil for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
- Resting allows juices to be redistributed, ensuring every bite is flavorful and tender. Enjoy your steak served hot, topped with a pat of butter if desired.
Notes
You might also want to add these optional extras for additional flavor: garlic cloves, fresh thyme, or rosemary.
