Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Spice Mix
In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all spices are evenly blended.
- 2
Prep the Steaks
Pat the Kansas City strip steaks dry with paper towels. This will help achieve a good sear. Rub the spice mix generously on both sides of the steaks.
Cooking
- 3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
- 4
Sear the Steaks
Carefully place the seasoned steaks in the hot skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them, allowing a crust to form.
- 5
Flip and Finish Cooking
Flip the steaks and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time to your preference for doneness.
- 6
Rest the Steaks
Remove the steaks from the skillet and allow them to rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. This helps retain juices.
Serving

Plate and Garnish
Slice the steaks against the grain and arrange them on a plate. Optionally, sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
