Ingredients
- 12- ounce New York Strip steak
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 5 garlic cloves
- 3 sprigs of fresh thyme
- sea salt and cracked pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the steak generously with salt and pepper.
- Add the oil to a large frying pan over high heat and heat up until it begins to lightly smoke.
- Place in the steaks, turn the heat down to medium-high, and add in the butter, garlic, and thyme.
- After 45 seconds begin to move the steak around the pan cook for a total of 2-3 minutes before flipping the steak and repeating the process.
- Remove the steaks and let rest on a plate.
Notes
- Chef Notes:
- Make-Ahead: Seared steak is meant to be eaten as soon as it is done cooking.
- How to Reheat: This recipe does not reheat well, but if you do need to reheat it, then re-sear it in a hot pan with lightly smoked oil until warmed.
- How to Store: Cover and keep in the refrigerator for 3 days. This recipe will not freeze well.
- Some oils I prefer to cook with are olive, safflower, or canola. Do not be limited by these and please cook with your desired oil.
- I like to add the herbs and garlic on top of the steak while moving it around in the pan.
- If you feel like you may have cooked it a bit too long, set it upright when resting it to help heat escape more quickly
