Steak in an oven
 

Ok, so I have some round eye steak that I picked up because it was cheap. I've never made steak before, and all I have is an oven and a frying pan so I'm sticking with the former. I have Worcestershire sauce. I also have some other things I'm thinking of adding (tabasco or some other type of hot sauce). What's the game plan here?

If your frying pan isn't el cheapo, get your pan very hot and sear the steak. Finish it off by broiling in the oven.

Agreed. All you need is salt and pepper before cooking. Add whatever you like after.

Little bit of olive oil in the pan good?

A bit of butter over Olive Oil imo.

Some small amount of greaser is probably best since you don't want sticking. I'd probably rather use a margerine or butter though.

Yuck. This has no place in any kitchen ever.

If you're just searing it, you want the carmelization on the outside of the steak. So if you use any oil at all, just put some on a paper towel and rub the pan with it. The steak won't be in the pan long enough to burn if you get the heat high enough.

Yeah, just a little bit hits the spot.

Does your oven have a broiler? That would be much better....

I can turn the knob to broil, yes.
