Equipment
- Cast iron skillet
Ingredients
- 3-4 lbs bone-in, New York Steaks
- salt and pepper, for seasoning
- 3 tbsp avocado oil, vegetable oil, or canola oil
- ½ stick butter
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ tsp fresh thyme, minced
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary, minced
Instructions
- Wash steaks under cold running water and blot dry with paper towels.
- Season both sides of the steaks liberally with salt and pepper.
- Heat 3-4 tablespoons avocado oil over medium high heat in a large cast iron skillet.
- Place steaks in hot pan and cook for 5 minutes on the first side, until seared and golden brown.
- Flip steaks over and sear on second side for 2 minutes.
- Add butter to the skillet.
- Once butter is melted, add the minced garlic and minced herbs to the pan.
- Spoon garlic, herbed butter over the steaks as they continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium rare steaks.
- Cook for additional time if you prefer more well done steaks.
- When steaks are cooked to your preferred doneness, remove them from the pan and place them on plate.
- Pour the pan juices over the top of the steaks.
- Cover steaks with a sheet of foil to keep them warm and allow them to rest for ten minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and keeps them nice and tender, juicy and moist when you cut into them.
- Serve by spooning pan juices with the garlic and herbs over each steak.
