New York Strip Steak Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Take the New York strip steaks out of the refrigerator and let them rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps them cook more evenly.

2. 2

   Preheat the Pan

   Heat a large cast-iron skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it is hot. You want the pan to be very hot to sear the steak.

3. 3

   Season the Steak

   While the pan is heating, pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Rub each steak with olive oil and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

4. 4

   Add Garlic and Rosemary

   Crush the garlic cloves slightly with the side of a knife and add them to the hot pan along with the fresh rosemary sprigs. This will infuse the oil with flavor.

5. 5

   Sear the Steak

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

6. 6

   Flip the Steak

   Using tongs, flip the steaks over and sear the other side for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare. Adjust the time if you prefer a different level of doneness.

7. 7

   Baste the Steak

   While the steaks are cooking, tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the garlic and rosemary-infused oil for added flavor.

8. 8

   Rest the Steak

   Once cooked to your preference, remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

9. 9

   Serve

   Slice the steak against the grain and serve with your favorite sides. Enjoy your perfectly cooked New York strip steak!
