1
Season the Steak
Pat the NY Strip steak dry using paper towels. Generously season both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to allow the seasoning to penetrate the meat.
2
Prepare the Cooking Medium
In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. This typically takes about 2-3 minutes.

3
Sear the Steak
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the seasoned NY Strip steak in the pan. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a golden-brown crust forms.
4
Flip the Steak
Using tongs, flip the steak over and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare (125°F). Adjust the time according to your preferred doneness.
5
Add Aromatics (Optional)
If using, add the sprig of fresh rosemary, crushed garlic cloves, and butter to the pan during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Baste the steak with the melted butter for extra flavor.

6
Rest the Steak
Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the steak from the pan and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent it with aluminum foil and let it rest for at least 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

7
Slice and Serve
After resting, slice the steak against the grain into thick pieces. Serve immediately and enjoy your perfectly cooked USDA Prime NY Strip steak.
