Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 4 New York Strip Steaks
  • 1/2 tablespoon neutral high heat oil such as avocado, canola, grapeseed, safflower, vegetable
  • 2-4 tablespoons Montreal Steak Seasoning
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 3 garlic cloves smashed
  • Fresh sprigs rosemary or thyme optional

Method
 

  1. Let your steak come to room temperature for 30-45 minutes.
  2. Dry each side well with a paper towel. This ensures a good sear.
  3. Evenly add seasonings to both sides of the steaks.
  4. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat for 5 minutes. When it's hot pour in the oil.
  5. Sear the edges of the steak 30 seconds to 1 minute. Lay the steak in the pan and let sear 5-7 minutes each side without moving the steaks.
  6. Add 2-4 tablespoons of butter to the pan along with garlic cloves and/or fresh rosemary or thyme. Spoon the melted butter over the steak. Continue cooking until desired doneness, a meat thermometer is most accurate. (see notes for internal temperature guide)
  7. Remove the steaks to a plate or cutting board. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  8. Slice the steaks against the grain and top with the remaining butter from the pan. Enjoy!
