Make sure to pat your steak dry to remove moisture and be able to brown the exterior nicely. Then, cook your steak in the oven until it reaches your desired level of doneness by checking its internal temperature. The best way to check is by inserting a meat thermometer on the thickest part of the meat or you can simply observe its color or feel its tenderness.
Lastly, make sure to let your steak rest after cooking. This will give the juices time to soak into the meat, keeping it moist and savory.
