INGREDIENTS FOR THIS CAST IRON NEW YORK STEAK

Fresh rosemary
Fresh thyme
Cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
HOW TO MAKE THIS CAST IRON NEW YORK STRIP
- Prepare the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. Allow the steaks to come to room temperature.
- Heat the cast-iron skillet until hot over medium-high heat.
- Add the olive oil to the skillet and the steaks.
- Cook for 3 to 5 minutes on one side without moving. Then, flip the steak for 2 minutes. Position the steak on the side to sear the sides of the steak
- After searing the steak, add the butter, garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet. As the butter melts, spoon the butter over the steak.
- Continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes or until you reach the desired doneness.
- Remove the steak from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
NOTES & TIPS
- If you sear the steak properly, you should notice that it doesn't stick at all to the cast-iron skillet. This might take some practice getting used to but you'll get better at it over time.
FAQ
What is New York Steak cut?
This is a steak that is from the loin portion of the cow. It's also leaner than other types of meat and will have less fat. Most people recognize it as it has a visible line of fat that is more prominent on one side than the other.
How to marinate New York Steak?
Some people make a steak marinade and add it but due to this cut of steak already being tender, all you really need to do is add salt and pepper to both sides and let it come to room temperature. The natural flavors of the meat will be enhanced perfectly this way.

Hi Nick,
Thanks for visiting and you are right that we could do a little better with the direction on that. I have updated the recipe card to answer your questions.
Allie
I don’t have a thermometer. My desired done-ness is medium rare. Can you provide guidance on if this changes the amount of time on the stove or in the oven? Thanks!
Raquel
Roast until internal temperature of steak is 125° for rare, 135° for medium rare, and 145° for medium, about 8 to 10 minutes (if you don't have a thermometer).
