Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 12 oz New York strip steaks ((about 1 1/4-inches thick))
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 3/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)

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.
  • 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. When the pan is near smoking, it’s a sign that it’s properly heated.
  • Place the steaks in the hot skillet and cook for about 3 minutes each side or until the steaks get a nice crust.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, add butter and garlic. 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).
  • Transfer to plates. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
