Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 2 cups orange juice
• ½ cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• sea salt to taste
• freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 2 (6 ounce) beef top sirloin steaks

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2

Place steaks side by side in large casserole dish. Add orange juice, cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Marinate, uncovered, in the refrigerator for 45 minutes.

Step 3

Remove casserole dish from refrigerator. Cover steaks with plastic wrap and let allow to come to room temperature, at least 15 minutes.

Step 4

Place steaks on a clean work surface and generously rub with steak seasoning and black pepper.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat.

Step 6

Cook steaks in the hot skillet until lightly browned on the bottom, 2 1/2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side and red in the center, about 2 minutes more. Transfer skillet with the steaks to the oven.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven until steaks are firm and reddish-pink to lightly pink in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read from 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) to 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).

Step 8

Remove steaks from oven; season with salt. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
