New York Strip Steak Recipe (1)

New York Strip Steak

The New York Strip Steak is cuts of beef that come from the most tender part of the short loin. It’s the boneless part of the top loin and is the steak on the side of a T-bone or Porterhouse across from the filet mignon. Depending on the region, it may also be known as a Kansas City Strip steak or, just plainly, strip steak.

Since this cut of beef is so tender, it is best when cooked quickly over high heat, such as broiling, searing, or grilling. The current costs of strip steaks range from $15 to $30 a pound, depending upon the quality. In my opinion, the optimal size for a strip steak is between 12 and 18 ounces.

Ingredients and Substitutions

  • Steak – You will use a New York or Kansas City strip steak for this recipe.
  • Oil – I prefer to use olive oil. However, you can use your favorite oil.
  • Butter – Always use unsalted butter.
  • Garlic – A few garlic cloves will go a long way to enhancing the flavor of the steak.
  • Herbs – Fresh thyme or rosemary works best.

How to Cook a New York Strip Steak

I’m not much for flipping meat or other proteins back and forth to try and achieve equal browning or grill marks on both sides. My philosophy is to cook steak for longer on the first side and then flip it and cook it for half the time of the first side and serve it.

Doing this allows getting a deep caramelized golden brown on 1 side without overcooking it.

  • Season the strip steak on both sides with sea salt and pepper. Do not be afraid of salt or pepper when seasoning the Strip Steak; Make sure there is salt all over every square centimeter of the meat. There is nothing worse than unseasoned food, nothing, so season it well.

  • Next, add theoil to a large frying pan or cast iron skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke lightly.
  • Place the steaks into the pan and immediately turn to medium-high heat. Be sure not to crowd the pan to sear the steak, not steam it.
  • Add garliccloves, fresh thyme or rosemary, and unsalted butter.

  • Cook the steaks for2 minutes before moving them around the pan to ensure it becomes browned on every square millimeter of the steak.
  • After 5-6 minutes of cooking, flip the steak over and repeat the process.

Chef Notes + Tips

  • Some things I preferto cook with are olive, ghee, clarified butter, or beef tallow. Do not be limited by these, and please cook with your desired fat or oil.
  • I like adding herbs and garlic to the steak while moving it around in the pan.
  • If you feel likeyou may have cooked it a bit too long, set it upright when resting it to help heat escape more quickly.

          Good fast way to cook a steak. Love the edition of butter, garlic and fresh herbs! I hated the mess!! Spattered grease intensely though attempted to control with spatter screen.
          Prefer barbecue or oven/broiler for this reason.

        Do you need to marinate New York Strip steaks? ›

        What are the three main ingredients when marinating? ›

        A typical marinade is made up of three essential components: an acid (such as vinegar, wine, or citrus), an oil (such as olive oil or sesame oil), and a flavouring agent (such as herbs and spices). These elements work together to transform the taste and texture of your dish in different ways.

        Do you put Worcestershire sauce on steak before or after cooking? ›

        A little salt and pepper are the only seasonings needed. Personally I like to rub my steaks with Worcestershire or soy sauce and let them sit 5 minutes or so before cooking. I use them instead of adding salt. Then I pat the steaks dry before pan frying or grilling them.

        Should you marinate steak with butter or oil? ›

        Start your marinade with oil

        Your marinade should be at least 1/2 oil. The oil helps emulsify the marinade into a thick sauce that coats the meat. It's also a flavor-carrier. And having a coating of an oil-based sauce on your steak before you grill it will help it cook better and more evenly.

        How does Texas Roadhouse tenderise their steaks? Season each side of the steak well with the seasoning and set aside to rest for about 40 minutes. This causes the salt to infiltrate the surface (through osmosis) and actually aids in the breakdown of muscle fibres, resulting in more tender meat.

        How long should NY strip sit out before cooking? ›

        Do a warm-up. Take your steak out of the fridge about 20 minutes before grilling to bring it to room temperature. A freezing-cold steak won't cook evenly.

        How long should a New York strip rest after cooking? ›

        Use the following timing recommendations to learn how long to rest steak so that the flavorful juices have time to distribute through your meat: Rest meat for 5 minutes per inch of thickness. Rest meat for 10 minutes per pound. Rest meat for 1 minute for every 100 grams.
