1
Prepare the Steak
Remove the Kansas City strip steak from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Pat the steak dry with paper towels.
2
Season the Steak
Generously season both sides of the steak with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Drizzle olive oil over the steak and rub it in to ensure an even coating.

3
Preheat the Grill or Skillet
Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450-500°F) or heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it is hot.
4
Cook the Steak
Place the steak on the grill or in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it, allowing a nice crust to form. Flip the steak and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if desired.
5
Add Optional Garnish
If using, add the butter and rosemary sprigs to the skillet or on the grill during the last minute of cooking. Baste the steak with the melted butter for added flavor.

6
Let the Steak Rest
Remove the steak from the grill or skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy steak.

7
Slice and Serve
After resting, slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy your perfectly cooked Kansas City Strip!
