Omaha Steaks test kitchen equipment may vary from yours in the amount of heat produced. Verify degree of doneness by using a kitchen thermometer.

Sear Roast Method
  • Preheat oven to 300°F. Heat a small amount of oil in a large ovenproof pan on high heat.
  • If desired, lightly oil and season* meat prior to cooking.
  • Carefully place meat in pan and sear for 2-3 minutes on first side or until well browned. Flip meat and place pan on lower oven rack.
  • For roasts, sear all sides, then place on rack in roasting pan. Use caution when removing pan from oven. Handle will be very hot; use oven mitts.
  • Test doneness of meat by using a kitchen thermometer. Serve on a warmed dish.
  • Apply finishing sauce or butter, if desired.
* If desired, we recommend using Omaha Steaks Private Reserve American Steak Rub.
