Learn how to make restaurant-style New York Strip Steak at home using this straightforward recipe. Perfectly seared with herby, garlicky butter in the iron skillet, it is finished in the oven and served warm.
Season the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. Let the steaks sit at room temperature for 5 minutes or up to 30 minutes.
Place a cast iron skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the olive oil, butter, whole garlic cloves, rosemary, and thyme. Cook for 2-3 minutes, so the butter can be infused with the spices and garlic.
Add the New York steaks to the pan and sear on both sides for 3 minutes each, until a crust appears on both sides.
Place the skillet in the oven and let the steaks cook for another 6 minutes, or until desired doneness.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the steaks rest for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
TO STORE. Store the leftover steak in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. TO FREEZE. New York steak is best frozen before cooking. I don’t recommend freezing cooked steaks. TO REHEAT. Reheat the steaks in the oven with water or broth at the bottom. Cover them with a lid to trap the steam. Reheating this way will prevent moisture loss, and you’ll have a juicy steak to enjoy.
