New York Strip Steak with Garlic Butter

The New York Strip Steak, renowned for its tenderness and rich flavor, has become a culinary icon and a symbol of indulgence. This prime cut of beef, often associated with upscale steakhouses and fine dining, has a history as impressive as its taste. Let's embark on a journey through time to explore the origins and evolution of the New York Strip Steak, complemented by the mouthwatering addition of garlic butter.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 New York Strip Steaks about 1.5 inches thick
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Optional: Red pepper flakes for a bit of heat

Instructions
 

  • Preparation:
  • Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  • Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
  • Season both sides of each steak generously with salt and black pepper.
  • Searing the Steaks:
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over high heat.
  • Once the oil is hot, add the steaks to the skillet and sear each side for about 2-3 minutes or until a golden-brown crust forms.
  • Finishing in the Oven:
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook the steaks to your preferred doneness. For medium-rare, it typically takes about 5-7 minutes.
  • Garlic Butter:
  • In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat.
  • Add minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant but not browned.
  • Stir in fresh parsley and thyme. If you like a bit of heat, add red pepper flakes.
  • Basting:
  • During the last minute of cooking in the oven, baste the steaks with the garlic butter mixture. Spoon the melted butter over the steaks for extra flavor.
  • Resting:
  • Once done, remove the steaks from the oven and let them rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and flavorful steak.
  • Serve:
  • Slice the steaks against the grain and drizzle with any remaining garlic butter.
  • Enjoy:
  • Serve your New York Strip Steaks with Garlic Butter alongside your favorite sides and enjoy a restaurant-quality meal at home!
