Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 12 mins | Servings: 2
Ingredients
-
1 piece 1.5-inch thick New York strip steak
-
1 tsp sea salt
-
Fresh ground black pepper
-
2 cloves garlic (crushed)
-
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
1 small cube unsalted butter
Detailed Instructions
1. Use paper towels to fully pat dry the surface of the steak. Dry steak surface is the key to getting a crispy golden sear. Season both sides evenly with sea salt and fresh black pepper, set aside for 5 minutes to let the flavor penetrate.
2. Preheat a cast-iron skillet on high heat, add olive oil until the oil shimmers. Place the steak flat in the pan without moving it, sear for 4 minutes until a browned crust forms.
3. Flip the steak, add crushed garlic, rosemary and butter. Tilt the pan slightly and continuously baste the steak with melted butter for another 4 minutes to lock in juiciness.
4. Turn off the heat, take out the steak and rest it for 8 minutes to redistribute the meat juice. Grab your FINTISO Blaze Kiritsuke Chef Knife to slice the steak against the grain into even thick slices. The ultra-sharp polished blade cuts through tender meat fibers cleanly without tearing or squeezing juice out.
5. Serve with roasted potato wedges or fresh vegetable side dishes for a complete American-style dinner.
