Steak Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes prior to cooking. This helps the steak cook evenly.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Rub the steak with olive oil, and season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and rosemary on both sides.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy-duty frying pan over high heat until it is very hot.

  4. 4

    Sear the Steak

    Place the steak in the hot skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a crust forms. Flip the steak and sear the other side for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare.

  5. 5

    Add Butter

    In the last minute of cooking, add the butter to the pan and spoon the melted butter over the steak to enhance flavor.

  6. 6

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Slice against the grain and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious New York Steak!
