New York Steak Recipe

New York Steak Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

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

2. 2

   Season the Steak

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

3. 3

   Preheat the Pan

   Heat a heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat for about 5 minutes until it is very hot.

4. 4

   Sear the Steak

   Place the steak in the hot skillet and sear it for about 4-5 minutes without moving it. This forms a nice crust.

5. 5

   Flip the Steak

   Using tongs, flip the steak to the other side. Add the butter and fresh rosemary to the skillet.

6. 6

   Baste the Steak

   Tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to baste the melted butter over the top of the steak for additional flavor. Cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare.

7. 7

   Check the Temperature

   Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Aim for 130-135°F for medium-rare.

8. 8

   Rest the Steak

   Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

9. 9

   Serve

   Slice against the grain and serve with your choice of sides.
