Description
A perfect pan-seared New York Strip Steak recipe, enhanced with garlic and fresh herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Tbsp olive oil (extra virgin)
- 12–16 oz New York Strip Steaks (2 6–8 ounce steaks)
- ½ Tbsp steak seasoning (see recipe, or use your favorite brand)
- 3 cloves garlic (peeled)
- 8 sprigs fresh thyme (rosemary and thyme are my preferred herbs with steak, sage and tarragon are good too)
- 1 Tbsp butter
Instructions
- Heat your medium to large skillet or frying pan with the 2 Tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. As soon as it starts to smoke, it is ready to have the steaks added.
- While your skillet is heating, season both sides of your 12-16 oz New York Strip Steaks generously using homemade steak seasoning (½ Tbsp steak seasoning). Pat the seasoning into place, and do not rub it into the steak, as the seasoning can accumulate rather than being spread evenly.
- Place your seasoned NY strip steaks, 3 cloves garlic, and 8 sprigs fresh thyme in the hot skillet and allow the steak to cook, without moving it, for 3 minutes or until browned and caramelization has begun.
- Turn your steaks over and cook on the second side for 2 minutes, then add 1 Tbsp butter. Allow the butter to melt, then tip your pan toward you and spoon the butter over the steaks.
- The steaks are done when both sides are browned, and they have an internal temperature of 135℉ (57℃).
- Use tongs to sear the ribbon of fat on the steak edges before removing from the heat. Transfer your steaks to a plate or platter, then drizzle the pan juices along with the herbs and garlic to set on your steaks while they rest.
- Use a square of aluminum foil to loosely ‘tent’ over your steaks while resting, then allow the steaks to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Adjust the cooking time based on steak thickness for desired doneness.
- Don’t move the steak too much while it’s cooking to ensure proper browning.
