Steak Recipe

If you are looking for a good steak recipe to produce a juicy steak with fresh herbs, then you need this Steak Recipe. It is a great recipe for special occasions because it is a great way to cook a steak to your favorite level of doneness using a meat thermometer, with a simple recipe for a date night in.

My whole family loves a good steak recipe, and when cooking steak I have to be able to keep it simple since we are feeding a crowd. It is a perfect way to get dinner done quickly and easily without hauling out the grill. 

Plus, by using a hot skillet, you can avoid overly high temperatures for the best results and not end up with a dry steak and give you the opportunity to make it in a delicious herb butter sauce.

Ingredients used to make this Steak Recipe:

• Bone-in New York strip steaks (10 oz each) 
• Sea salt 
• Ground black pepper 
• Vegetable oil (I like avocado oil or olive oil too)
• Salted butter, cut into 2 slices
• Sprig fresh rosemary 
• Sprigs fresh thyme
• Garlic cloves

How to make this Steak Recipe:

1. Prepare the steak. Pat the steak dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Let it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.  
2. Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. 
3. Sear. Add the steak to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes for a good sear. 
4. Flip the steak and let it cook for 2 more minutes. 
5. Baste. Add the butter, rosemary, thyme, and garlic to the pan. Be sure to spread them evenly throughout the pan. As the butter melts, tilt the pan and spoon it over the steaks (this is called basting). Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, basting every 20 seconds or so.  
6. Rest. Remove the steaks from the pan and place them on a cutting board. Let them rest for 5 minutes. 
7. Slice. Slice the steak against the grain and serve warm.
