Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 6 ounce mushrooms (sliced)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 lean New York Steak strip steaks
  • Coarse salt to taste
  • 3  tablespoons  grass-fed butter
  • 3  cloves garlic (smashed (don’t mince the cloves because it will burn fast))
  • 3  sprigs fresh thyme

Instruction

  • Remove the steaks from the fridge about 30 minutes to 1 hour before cooking. Place them on a paper towel-lined cutting board and pat them dry with paper towels. Then, season well all sides of the steaks with coarse salt and set aside.
  • In a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and butter, mushrooms, garlic and salt. Cook for about 3 minutes or until tender. Set aside on a plate.
  • Increase the heat to high and let it heat up for about 3 minutes. When the pan smokes just a bit, it’s a sign that it’s properly heated. Place the steaks in the hot skillet and cook for about 2 minutes each side or until the steaks get a nice crust.
  • Now add butter, garlic and thyme to the skillet. Flip the steaks again and tilt the pan to help the butter spread on the skillet. Using a spoon, pour butter over the steaks. Flip again the steaks and check the internal temperature of the steaks. For rare is Medium rare is 135 degrees, medium = 145 degrees, medium well = 150 degrees and well done = 160 degrees. The totally cooking time for my steak was about 8 minutes. It will depend on how you prefer your steak to be (rare, medium, medium well or well done).
  • When the steaks get to thedesired cooking temperature, bring back the mushrooms and serve immediately with some roasted green beans, asparagus mushed cauliflower and/or rice cauliflower.
