Notes

Cooking Tips for the Best Results:

1. Choose the Right Cut: Start with a high-quality New York Strip Steak. Look for a well-marbled steak with a thickness of at least 1 inch. The marbling ensures a tender and flavorful result.

2. Allow Steak to Reach Room Temperature: Before cooking, let the steak sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps the steak cook more evenly, ensuring that the interior reaches the desired doneness without overcooking the exterior.

3. Season Liberally and in Advance: If you have time, season the steak generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper at least 30 minutes before cooking. This allows the seasoning to penetrate the meat, enhancing its flavor.

4. Use a Hot Pan and Quality Butter: Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat until it’s smoking hot. Add high-quality butter to the pan along with sprigs of fresh thyme and whole garlic cloves. The sizzle and aromas will create a flavorful base for the steak.

5. The Perfect Sear and Rest: Sear the steak in the hot pan for a few minutes on each side, achieving a beautifully caramelized crust. Use a meat thermometer to monitor the steak’s internal temperature, removing it from the heat a few degrees below your desired doneness. Allow the steak to rest for about 5 minutes to redistribute the juices, resulting in a tender, perfectly cooked New York Strip Steak.

FAQs about the NY Strip Steak on the Stove

What is the ideal thickness for a NY strip steak?

The ideal thickness for a NY strip steak is around 1 inch. This thickness allows for even cooking, a well-seared crust, and a perfectly juicy interior.

Is it necessary to bring the steak to room temperature before cooking?

Yes, allowing the steak to reach room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking is important. This ensures even cooking, as a cold steak can lead to uneven results.

How should I season the steak for the best flavor?

Season the steak generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper at least 30 minutes before cooking. This gives the seasoning time to penetrate the meat, enhancing its overall flavor.

Can I use other herbs besides thyme for seasoning?

Certainly! While thyme complements the steak beautifully, you can experiment with other herbs like rosemary or sage for added flavor variations. Fresh herbs work best.

Why is it important to let the steak rest after cooking?

Allowing the steak to rest for about 5 minutes after cooking is crucial. During this time, the juices redistribute within the meat, resulting in a tender, juicy steak. Cutting into it immediately can cause the juices to escape, leading to a drier steak.

➡️ When you’re craving a delicious beef steak but the weather or location where you are doesn’t allow you to grill it, you have a simple solution: cook it in a pan! Preparing a NY beef steak is easy, quick and the result is not inferior to grilled meat, except for the lack of smoke flavor. But this does not mean that New York steak prepared in a pan is not as delicious! Enjoy cooking NY strip steak from scratch! For additional info, read more about strip steak.
