1
Season the Steak
Start by patting the KC Strip Steak dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help achieve a nice sear. Rub the olive oil evenly over both sides of the steak.
2
Add Seasonings
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder evenly over both sides of the steak. Make sure to press the seasonings gently into the meat for better flavor absorption.
3
Prepare Rosemary
Finely chop the fresh rosemary leaves and sprinkle them over the steak, pressing them in slightly to adhere.

4
Preheat the Pan
Place a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over high heat and let it preheat for about 5 minutes until it is very hot.
5
Sear the Steak
Once the pan is hot, carefully place the seasoned KC Strip Steak in the pan. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it, until a nice crust forms.
6
Flip and Add Butter
Flip the steak using tongs and immediately add the butter to the pan. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, basting the steak with melted butter using a spoon.
7
Check Doneness
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, it should read 130°F (54°C). Adjust cooking time according to desired doneness.
8
Rest the Steak
Once cooked, remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
