But you don't want to eat it cold. Good news: you can reheat steak without it becoming dry and bland.\u00a0Here are four simple methods to try, whether you want to reheat grilled steak<\/a> or any other type of steak<\/a>.\r\n

Method 1:<\/strong> How to Reheat Steak in the Microwave<\/h2>\r\nIt may seem like an odd choice, but hear us out! If you're short on time and need to reheat steak, the microwave<\/a> is the way to go. Microwaves get a bad rap for drying out food, but with this trick you don't have to worry.\r\n\r\nFirst, put the steak in a deep, microwavable dish. Next\u2014and here's the clever part\u2014pour gravy<\/a> or meat juices over the top. Doing so will keep the steak moist and help it taste even better. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and microwave it on medium power for 30-second periods (max power will dry out your steak in no time), turning the steak in between. You should only need to do this a few times for the perfect, deliciously tender result.\r\n

Method 2:<\/strong> How to Reheat Steak in the Oven<\/h2>\r\nThis is our favorite way to reheat steak if you have time to spare. It should take around 30 minutes to get right, but the flavorful meat will be oh-so-worth-it.\r\n\r\nBefore you get started, preheat the oven to 250\u00baF. Next, put a sturdy wire rack inside a sheet pan<\/a> and place the steak on the rack. Elevating the meat will help it cook evenly on both sides.\r\n\r\nOnce the oven is preheated, pop the steak inside and let it cook for 20 to 30 minutes, checking regularly until it reaches your desired doneness<\/a>. Of course, the cook time will vary depending on the steak's thickness (flank steak<\/a> will be quicker than a porterhouse, for example), so keep a close eye on it. The last thing you want is for the meat to dry out.\r\n

Method 3:<\/strong> How to Reheat Steak on the Stovetop<\/h2>\r\nTo heat up your steak on the stove, add a few tablespoons of beef broth<\/a> to\u00a0a nonstick skillet<\/a>. Place the pan on medium heat. Once the broth starts to bubble, add the meat. Flip the steak after a couple of minutes to help it heat evenly. Thanks to the broth, the steak will be nice and juicy when you dig in.\r\n

Method 4: How to Reheat Steak and Get a Perfect Sear<\/h2>\r\nTo get a gorgeous sear the second time around, start by following the method for reheating steak in the oven. When the steak is almost at your desired doneness, heat 1 tablespoon of canola or vegetable oil on high in a cast-iron skillet on the stovetop. As soon as you pull the warm steak out of the oven, place it in the hot skillet and sear until a crust has formed on both sides, about 1 to 2 minutes each. Remove from the skillet and enjoy with your favorite side dishes.\r\n
