Whether you’re cooking to impress your date or just want dinner on the table in less than 15 minutes, the high heat of an Ooni oven is the secret to restaurant-quality steak at home. We use our cast iron Dual-Sided Grizzler Plate, preheated in a ripping hot Ooni to get a fantastic sear and extra-tender interior for steaks.

Meat quality, salt, heat and timing are all the keys to making an excellent steak.  Start by choosing a great quality piece of meat — we prefer a boneless ribeye, but you can choose whichever cut you like — then salt it sufficiently, cook it at a high temperature and let it rest before serving. If you’re new to cooking steaks in your Ooni, our video will walk you through every step of the process. 

Right before serving, we like to add some crunchy salt and a bit of extra fat with a tasty garlic butter, which adds shine and taste without overpowering the flavour of the steak. Feel free to flavour your butter however you like or skip it altogether — either way, you (and maybe your date, too) will be impressed.
