Pan-Seared New York Strip Steak Recipe

Author: Jessica Haggard
A golden, crackling crust and a juicy, butter-basted interior make this pan-seared New York strip steak the kind of stovetop steak that feels like a steakhouse dinner without leaving the kitchen. Garlic butter, a hot pan, and a few minutes are all it takes to pull off an impressive date night dinner for two any night of the week.

Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 (10-ounce) New York strip steaks about 1-inch thick
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme

Instructions
 

  • Pat any extra moisture off the steaks with a paper towel, then season both sides evenly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
    Two raw strip steaks are laid out on a light surface, each sprinkled with a mixture of seasoning and grated cheese.
  • Get a heavy pan or cast-iron skillet very hot over high heat for a few minutes. Coat the pan with olive oil, lower the heat to medium-high, and lay the steaks in to sear for 3 minutes until a rich crust forms.
    Two seasoned raw steaks are cooking in a beige skillet with melted butter or oil on a stovetop.
  • Flip the steaks to cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, adding the butter, garlic, and thyme to the pan. Melt the butter, tilting the pan slightly to spoon it over the meat for a minute or two to build that rich flavor.
    Two seared steaks cook in a pan with melted butter, chopped garlic, and fresh herbs on a stovetop.
  • Move the finished steaks over to a cutting board and allow them to rest for 5 minutes.
    Two cooked steaks are placed side by side on a wooden cutting board against a light-colored background.
  • Serve warm.

Notes

Take the steaks out of the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking, so they heat up evenly in the pan.
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness, and pull them just a few degrees before your target temperature since they keep cooking while they rest.
Serve: Pick these for your next date night, birthday, or anniversary! 
Store: Cool the steak completely before placing it into an airtight container or wrapping it tightly in foil, then refrigerate for up to 3 to 4 days.
