Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparation

    Take the Kansas City Strip Steak out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Rub the steak with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy pan over medium-high heat until it’s very hot.

  4. 4

    Sear the Steak

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

  5. 5

    Flip and Baste

    Flip the steak and add butter and rosemary to the pan. Baste the steak with the melted butter using a spoon. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or adjust time according to your desired doneness.

  6. 6

    Rest the Steak

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

  7. 7

    Serve

    Slice against the grain and serve immediately, optionally garnished with fresh rosemary.
