Steak & Seasoning

Method

Prep

  1. 1

    Bring steak to room temperature

    Remove the bone-in New York strip steak from the refrigerator 45–60 minutes before cooking. Pat dry thoroughly with paper towels — moisture prevents good sear.

  2. 2

    Season

    Generously season both sides and the edges of the steak with kosher salt (about 1 to 1.5 tsp for a 1 lb steak), then sprinkle garlic powder and freshly ground black pepper evenly. Press the seasonings into the meat so they adhere.

Searing & Oven Finish

  1. 3

    Preheat oven and pan

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Place a heavy cast-iron skillet or ovenproof stainless pan on the stovetop and heat over medium-high until very hot (2–4 minutes).

  2. 4

    Sear steak

    Add 1 tablespoon high-heat oil to the hot pan and swirl. Add the steak, fat-side or bone-edge down first if there is an exposed fat cap, then lay flat. Sear without moving for 2.5–3 minutes until a deep brown crust forms. Flip and sear the second side for 2–3 minutes. Also sear the edges for 30–45 seconds each (use tongs and hold the steak on its side).

  3. 5

    Add aromatics and baste

    Reduce heat to medium. Add 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, smashed garlic cloves, and the rosemary and thyme sprigs to the pan. Tilt the pan slightly, use a spoon to baste the melted butter and aromatics over the steak continuously for 30–60 seconds to build flavor and finish browning the crust.

  4. 6

    Finish in oven (if needed)

    If the steak is thick (1.25" or more) or you prefer medium-rare to medium, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast until the internal temperature reaches your target: 120°F (49°C) for rare, 125–130°F (52–54°C) for medium-rare, 135°F (57°C) for medium. This typically takes 4–8 minutes depending on thickness. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part, away from bone.

Resting & Finishing

  1. 7

    Rest

    Remove the steak from the pan and transfer to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and rest for 8–10 minutes (rest time lets juices redistribute and carryover raises temp ~5°F/3°C).

  2. 8

    Finish and serve

    While resting, skim pan juices if desired and spoon a little over the steak. Slice against the grain into 1/3"–1/2" slices, leaving pieces near the bone intact. Sprinkle flaky sea salt to taste, add a pat of compound butter or a drizzle of finishing olive oil if using, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for brightness.
