Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Take the Kansas City Strip Steak out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This ensures even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Rub the steak with olive oil, then season generously with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides. Add fresh rosemary for extra flavor.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or a cast-iron skillet over high heat for about 5 minutes until it's very hot.

  4. 4

    Cook the Steak

    Place the steak on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare. Adjust the time for your preferred doneness.

  5. 5

    Add Butter

    During the last minute of cooking, add butter to the skillet or on the grill, allowing it to melt over the steak for extra richness.

  6. 6

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices. Serve with your favorite sides.
