Description

Juicy, buttery, herby New York strip steak that tastes like a steakhouse special but made right in your kitchen. This beginner-friendly recipe delivers big flavor with zero stress.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (10–12 ounce) New York Strip Steaks
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 whole garlic cloves
  • 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Let steaks come to room temperature for 30 minutes.
  2. Pat steaks dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add olive oil, butter, garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Let the butter melt and get bubbly.
  4. Add steaks to the hot pan. Sear for 3 minutes on each side, basting with the garlicky butter as you go.
  5. Transfer skillet to the oven. Roast for 6 minutes for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness.
  6. Remove skillet from the oven. Let steaks rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer for precision: 130–135°F for medium-rare. Always let steak rest after cooking for juicy results. Try deglazing the pan with red wine for a quick pan sauce.
