Cast Iron Seared N.y. Strip And Scallops Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the fingerling potatoes and cut them in half lengthwise. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until golden and tender.

2. 2

   Sear the Steak

   While the potatoes are roasting, heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Season the N.Y. strip steaks with salt and pepper. Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, then place the steaks in the pan. Sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove from the skillet and let rest.

3. 3

   Cook the Scallops

   In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and bring to medium-high heat. Pat the scallops dry and season with salt and pepper. Sear the scallops for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.

4. 4

   Make Brown Butter

   In the skillet, add the stick of unsalted butter and let it melt over medium heat. Once melted, continue cooking until the butter turns a golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Add chopped shallots and fresh thyme to the brown butter, cooking for an additional minute.

5. 5

   Assemble the Dish

   On each plate, place a portion of the fingerling potato hash, top with the seared steak and scallops. Drizzle the brown butter with shallots and thyme over the top. Serve immediately.
