N.y. Strip (usda Prime) Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Remove the NY strip steak from the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook more evenly.

2. 2

   Season the Steak

   Generously season both sides of the steak with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, ensuring an even coating.

3. 3

   Preheat the Pan

   In a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.

4. 4

   Sear the Steak

   Carefully place the steak in the hot pan. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it to develop a nice crust.

5. 5

   Flip and Add Flavor

   Flip the steak over using tongs. Add the garlic cloves, rosemary, and butter to the pan. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, basting the steak with the melted butter and cooking juices.

6. 6

   Check for Doneness

   Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for 130°F (54°C). Adjust cooking time as needed for your desired doneness.

7. 7

   Rest the Steak

   Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for at least 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

8. 8

   Slice and Serve

   After resting, slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy your perfectly cooked NY strip steak!
