How Long Do You Cook Steak In Oven At 400?
The cooking time for a steak in the oven at 400°F depends on the thickness and desired level of doneness. Generally, a 1-inch thick steak should be cooked for 12-15 minutes for medium-rare, or 15-18 minutes for medium. However, it is always best to use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare or 145°F for medium. Resting the steak for 5-10 minutes before slicing will also help retain juices and ensure a flavorful, tender result.
