Ingredients

  • 2 large strip steaks about 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick
  • 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 4 cloves garlic lightly smashed with the side of a knife
  • 2 teaspoon peanut oil
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl, mix together Kosher salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Set aside.
  2. Pat steaks dry with a paper towel. Season steaks with salt mixture. Allow to sit, uncovered, on the counter for 30 minute prior to searing.
  3. When ready to cook, heat a large cast iron pan over high heat. Place peanut oil into the pan.
  4. When oil looks slick and glimmers, add steaks, being careful to not allow them to touch.
  5. If the correct thickness, cook 3-4 minutes on each side to reach an internal temperature of 125 degrees (or desired doneness). Half way through, add smashed garlic cloves. Remove from heat and place butter in the pan. Allow it to melt and spoon over steaks.
  6. Remove to cutting board to rest. Do not allow to rest in the pan because they will just continue to cook.
  7. Rest for 5 a minimum of 5 minutes, but maximum of 10 minutes.
  8. If you have tried this recipe, come back and let us know how it was in the comments or star ratings.
