When we say perfect, we mean it. The extreme heat from
Ooni pizza ovens provides the ideal cook for a juicy, tender,
and succulent steak. With the Ooni Dual-Sided Grizzler Plate,
you can cook multiple steaks at a time – using the grizzler
ribs to create those picture-perfect sear marks. Simple but
eective. You’ll thank us later!
Method
Before you’re ready to cook, allow the steaks to come up
to room temperature. This ensures a clean, even cook
throughout.
Next, season your steak by gently patting the salt and
pepper into the meat with a little olive oil.
Fire up your Ooni Pizza Oven. Aim for 950°F / 500°C
on the stone baking board inside. You can check the
temperature of your oven quickly and easily using the Ooni
Infrared Thermometer. The super-high temperature is
vital to achieve the perfect steak. Why? It allows important
chemical reactions to take place, caramelizing the fats and
sugars and ensuring a rich and succulent cut.
Place your seasoned cast iron Dual-Sided Grizzler Plate in
the oven to preheat. After 10 minutes, remove the plate.
Using tongs, carefully lay your steaks across the grizzler ribs.
Put the plate back in the oven. For a 20mm cut steak, cook
for around 90 seconds on each side. Flip and rotate the
steak to ensure an even heat distribution in the hotter zones
of the oven.
Using a meat thermometer, check the temperature
inside your steak. For rare, aim for 125°F / 52°C.
For medium rare, aim for 135°F / 57°C. You can use
increments of 10°F for increasing levels of doneness.
Once cooked to your desired level, remove the
Dual-Sided Grizzler Plate and transfer the steaks to a
wooden cutting board. Add a knob of butter, cover
with aluminum foil, and let the meat rest for roughly
the time it took to cook. This allows the juices to
settle evenly, ensuring full flavor with every bite.
Finally, serve. For maximum tenderness, slice across
the grain of the steak with a sharp knife.
