Kansas City Strip Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Take the Kansas City strip steak out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for at least 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Season the Steak

   Generously season both sides of the steak with kosher salt and black pepper.

3. 3

   Preheat the Grill or Pan

   Heat your grill or a cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking hot. Add olive oil to the skillet if using.

4. 4

   Sear the Steak

   Place the steak on the grill or skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it. Flip the steak using tongs.

5. 5

   Add Aromatics

   Add the whole garlic cloves and fresh rosemary to the skillet or on the grill around the steak.

6. 6

   Cook to Desired Doneness

   Cook on the other side for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting cooking time for your preferred doneness.

7. 7

   Rest the Steak

   Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

8. 8

   Serve

   Slice against the grain and serve with your favorite sides.
