New York Strip (12 Oz) Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Preparing the Steak

   Remove the New York Strip Steak from the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes to ensure even cooking. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect sear.

2. 2

   Seasoning

   Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Generously season both sides of the steak with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. The salt will help create a delicious crust.

3. 3

   Preheating the Pan

   In a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottom pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it starts to shimmer. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.

4. 4

   Cooking the Steak

   Carefully place the seasoned New York Strip Steak in the hot skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it to develop a nice crust.

5. 5

   Flipping the Steak

   Flip the steak using tongs and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting the time if you prefer it more or less cooked.

6. 6

   Adding Flavor

   During the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the crushed garlic cloves and fresh rosemary to the skillet. Also, add the butter, basting the steak with the melted butter and aromatics using a spoon.

7. 7

   Resting the Steak

   Once the steak has reached your desired doneness, remove it from the skillet and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent it loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

8. 8

   Slicing and Serving

   Slice the steak against the grain into thick strips and serve immediately. Enjoy your perfectly cooked New York Strip!
