🔪 How To Make Baked T-Bone Steak
Baked steaks are so easy to make! All you need to do is prep, season, and sear the steak before popping it into the oven! Take out some measuring spoons, a cast iron skillet, and a meat thermometer to begin!
This recipe makes 1 T-bone steak! However, you can adjust the ingredients to make more steaks if needed!
- Preheat. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil (EVOO, or use beef tallow) in a cast iron skillet over high heat while your oven is preheating to 400°F (205°C). *Make sure to use an oven-safe skillet or heavy-bottomed pan.
- Prep. Dry the T-bone by patting it with paper towels. Then liberally season the whole steak with the ½ tablespoon of my steak seasoning blend.
- Sear steak. When the olive oil starts shimmering and starting to smoke in your skillet, add in your T-bone steak. Then sear each side for 2-3 minutes without touching the steak. Use a pair of kitchen tongs to lift up the steak and quickly sear the remaining edges.
- Cook. Carefully transfer your cast iron skillet and T-bone steak into your preheated oven and bake it at 400°F (205°C) for 10 to 15 minutes or until it reaches your preferred internal temperature. *I recommend using a digital meat thermometer. See notes for levels of doneness.
- Rest and serve. Take the cast iron skillet out of the oven, then place the T-bone on a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes under a loosely tented piece of foil before serving.

💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes
- For the best results, take out your steak from the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30-60 minutes.
- You can also season the steak when you take it out of the fridge to rest. Alternatively, you can season it the night before and let it dry brine overnight in the refrigerator

❓ Recipe FAQs
No! It is not necessary to cover your T-bone steak while it's baking in the oven. In this recipe, the cooking time isn't long enough to where your T-bone would dry out from the heat of the oven. However, it's really up to your preference!
It will depend mostly on how thick your T-bone steak is and how you prefer your steaks to be cooked. It will take 9-10 minutes in the oven for a rare steak and closer to 15 minutes for a well-done steak. It's always important to check with a digital cooking thermometer for the most accurate cooking times so that you can avoid undercooking or overcooking your steaks.
A T-bone and porterhouse cut of steak both come from the short loin muscle of the cow. Both have a "T-shaped" bone with pieces of beef on both sides of the bone. The major difference is where they are cut - T-bone steaks are cut closer to the front of the loin while porterhouse steaks are cut near the rear of the loin which is why porterhouse steaks have more tenderloin meat and are larger in size.
