For the Steak

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Pat the New York Strip Steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Preheat a cast-iron pan on medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Add vegetable oil, swirl to coat, and lay down the steaks. Sear the first side for about 4 minutes.
Flip the steaks and continue cooking for another 3 to 4 minutes for desired doneness, ensuring to sear the edges.
Reduce heat to medium, add unsalted butter, quartered garlic, and rosemary. Spoon melted garlic butter over steaks for about a minute.
Remove steak when it's 5-10 degrees below target doneness. Cover loosely with foil and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice and drizzle with remaining garlic butter.
