14 Oz New York Strip - Usda Prime Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Remove the New York Strip Steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.

2. 2

   Season the Steak

   Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Season generously on both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

3. 3

   Heat the Pan

   In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.

4. 4

   Sear the Steak

   Place the steak in the hot pan. Sear for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it, until a golden brown crust forms.

5. 5

   Flip and Add Aromatics

   Turn the steak over using tongs. Add the garlic cloves (smashed but not chopped) and fresh rosemary to the pan. Cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare doneness.

6. 6

   Baste with Butter

   In the last minute of cooking, add the butter to the pan. As it melts, tilt the pan slightly and spoon the melted butter over the steak to baste it. This adds flavor and moisture.

7. 7

   Check for Doneness

   Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, it should read 130-135°F (54-57°C).

8. 8

   Rest the Steak

   Remove the steak from the pan and place it on a cutting board. Tent it with aluminum foil and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

9. 9

   Slice and Serve

   Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy your perfectly cooked New York Strip!
