Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 New York strip steak
Supporting Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon high-smoke point oil
Basting Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
Instructions
- Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it reach room temperature for 35 minutes. Use paper towels to thoroughly dry your 12-16 oz steak, ensuring a perfect sear.
- Generously season the entire surface of the steak with 1 tablespoon kosher salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper, pressing the seasonings into the meat.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat for 4 minutes until it’s smoking hot. Add 1 tablespoon high-smoke point oil, creating an even coating across the pan’s surface.
- Carefully place the seasoned steak into the scorching skillet. Sear for exactly 3 minutes without moving, developing a rich golden-brown crust.
- Flip the steak and cook the opposite side for another 3 minutes, maintaining high heat for consistent caramelization.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 2 smashed garlic cloves, and fresh herb sprigs to the pan.
- Tilt the skillet and continuously spoon the aromatic butter over the steak for 2 minutes, creating a flavorful basting technique.
- Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. Remove the steak at 130°F for medium-rare or 140°F for medium.
- Transfer the steak to a cutting board. Let it rest undisturbed for 7 minutes to redistribute internal juices.
- Slice the steak against the grain into thin, elegant pieces. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Always remove the steak from the refrigerator 30-40 minutes before cooking to ensure even cooking and a tender result.
- Use a heavy cast-iron skillet for the best sear and most consistent heat distribution across your steak’s surface.
- Choose high-smoke-point oils like avocado or grapeseed for searing to prevent burning and create a perfect golden crust.
- For those avoiding butter, substitute with olive oil and fresh herbs to maintain rich flavor while keeping the dish lighter.
