1
Prepare the Steak
Remove the New York strip steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This helps the steak cook more evenly.
2
Season the Steak
Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Sprinkle kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and garlic powder evenly on both sides of the steak. Rub the seasonings into the meat gently.

3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, preferably cast iron, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers and is almost smoking.
4
Sear the Steak
Carefully place the seasoned New York strip steak in the hot skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes without moving it, allowing a crust to form.
5
Flip and Cook
Using tongs, flip the steak over and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting the time according to your desired doneness.
6
Add Optional Garnish
If desired, add a sprig of fresh rosemary and 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan during the last minute of cooking for added flavor. Baste the steak with the melted butter using a spoon.

7
Rest the Steak
Remove the steak from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Tent it loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
8
Slice and Serve
After resting, slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy your perfectly cooked New York strip steak!
