Just preheat your oven at 200c (390f), get a pan hot on the stove, butter or oil, season your steak and sear it on high heat on both sides until a crust forms , should be around 2 minutes on both sides.
Stick it in the oven to finish the cooking (make sure your pan is oven proof), poke your finger on it to estimate how it is cooked.
Depending on thickness and how you like it done, anywhere between 5 and 15 minutes should do the trick.
If it is hard like the center of your palm it is well done. If it bounces back like the fat part bellow your thumb it is rare, in between is medium.
If you just dump it straight in the oven chances are you will end up with a grey overcooked piece of rubber...

| | | | How many people will be eating it? You could cut it into individual portions, pan-sear it and finish in the oven. What you use for seasoning and a sauce is up to you. If you don't have an oven thermometer, you can use the squeeze method for doneness- squeeze the muscle between your thumb and forefinger to feel the firmness. With your hand relaxed- that's rare. Close your fingers as if you were holding a broomstick but don't squeeze- that's medium and if you squeeze, that's well-done. |

Great suggestions on the thumb/forefinger test. Never knew that!
I have a stovetop grill pan...I think I'm going to sear it in that and then throw it in the oven...Is the non stick coating safe?

| | | | The package may have instructions on it but sometimes, it's just "preheat oven to 360 and place meat on baking pan- bake for xx minutes after cutting a slit in the flat side of plastic bag, setting with flat side up". I bought some pork tenderloins that have these instructions but I like meat seared, so I don't follow them. |
