Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the A5 Wagyu NY Strip steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This ensures even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Generously season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat until shimmering.

  4. 4

    Sear the Steak

    Once the pan is hot, carefully place the steak in the skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes without moving it to develop a nice crust.

  5. 5

    Flip and Add Aromatics

    Flip the steak and add the butter, garlic cloves, and rosemary or thyme to the pan. Baste the steak with the melted butter and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare.

  6. 6

    Check for Doneness

    Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for 130°F (54°C). Adjust cooking time as needed.

  7. 7

    Rest the Steak

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

  8. 8

    Serve

    Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately, drizzling any remaining pan juices over the top.
