Description

This classic New York Strip Steak recipe delivers a perfect balance of seared crust and tender, juicy interior. The steak is seasoned with a simple blend of salt, black and white pepper, seared in a hot skillet to develop a flavorful crust, and finished in the oven. A final melt of resting butter enhances its rich, meaty flavor. Ideal for a cozy dinner for two, this steak recipe is easy to make and produces restaurant-quality results.

Ingredients

Steak

  • 2 (8-10 ounce) New York strip steaks (at least 1-inch thick)

Seasoning and Butter

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • 2 tablespoons resting butter (or plain salted butter)

Instructions

  1. Bring Steaks to Room Temperature: Remove the New York strip steaks from the refrigerator and packaging, then place them on a plate. Let the steaks sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours, to ensure even cooking.
  2. Preheat Oven and Skillet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Meanwhile, heat a large heavy skillet over high heat until it is smoking hot. Turn on your stove’s vent hood to manage any smoke.
  3. Season the Steaks: Rub both sides of the steaks with olive oil to coat evenly. In a small bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, and white pepper. Rub this seasoning mix onto both sides of each steak thoroughly.
  4. Sear the Steaks: Place the steaks in the hot skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side without moving them around to develop a golden-brown crust. Using tongs, hold the steak upright and sear the side with the fat for another 2-3 minutes to render it.
  5. Finish Cooking in Oven: Transfer the skillet with the seared steaks into the preheated oven. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium doneness, removing them about 5°F before target temperature as the steaks will continue to cook while resting.
  6. Rest and Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and immediately top each steak with a tablespoon of resting butter. Let the steaks rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute and the temperature to rise about 5 degrees before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Allowing the steak to come to room temperature helps ensure even cooking throughout.
  • Using a heavy skillet like cast iron helps achieve a better sear due to even heat distribution.
  • Resting butter melts into the steak, adding moisture and a rich buttery flavor.
  • Keep the vent hood on while searing to reduce smoke buildup in your kitchen.
  • Remove steaks from oven a few degrees shy of desired doneness because steaks continue to cook while resting.
