Manhattan Cut Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Remove the center-cut strip loin from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Pat it dry with paper towels.

2. 2

   Season the Steak

   Rub the steak with olive oil, then generously season both sides with kosher salt and black pepper. Sprinkle fresh rosemary on both sides.

3. 3

   Preheat the Pan

   Heat a heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat until it's very hot.

4. 4

   Sear the Steak

   Add the steak to the hot skillet. Sear for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it, then flip and sear for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare. Adjust the time according to your preferred doneness.

5. 5

   Add Garlic

   During the last minute of cooking, add the garlic cloves to the pan to infuse the oil with flavor.

6. 6

   Rest the Steak

   Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

7. 7

   Serve

   Slice the steak against the grain and serve hot. Enjoy your Manhattan Cut!
