Ingredients:
New York Strip Steak
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons Salt (Sea Salt or Kosher)
4 to 5 Sprigs of fresh Thyme
2 to 3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
Optional – Black Pepper
Tools:
Cast Iron Skillet (provides the heat for the perfect char)
Tongs
Basting Spoon
Instructions:
Remove your steak filet from fridge
Let rest for about 20 minutes to bring to room temp
Dry with paper towels
Oil your steak
Salt your steak
Bring your cast iron skillet to high heat. Add your steak filet. Reduce heat to medium. Add a few springs of fresh thyme. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes on medium heat. If your steak moves easily it’s time to flip, should be a nice crust formed on the first side. Add 2-3 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Baste with butter and thyme, cook for about another 6 minutes or so. An internal temperature of about 155 to 160 (or 165 for well) would be ideal. Of course, this depends on your preferred doneness. Remove your steak, place on a warm plate, and let rest for about 6 to 7 minutes. Enjoy!
