How to cook the perfect NY Strip Steak

People ask me most how to cook a Perfect Steak. Actually is very simple w/ some easy tricks i learned and can teach you today step by step.

Ingredients

1lb NY Strip
1 stick of butter
3 cloves garlic
Salt & Pepper
1/4 cup olive oil

Step 1 - wrap saran wrap around the steak mold into even level so 1 inch of the table. Push in the side w/ your hand and bring meat to room temperature.

Step 2 - melt 1 stick or half a stick of butter in the microwave or stove top. After melted skim the top of layer of the melted butter. Mince your garlic and press into the steak all around and generously add salt, i prefer sea salt all around w/ pepper to your liking. More important to add salt and garlic pepper is up to you. After you have seasoned the steak pour the melted butter after it has cooled down a bit. Then dress w/ olive oil like below. You don't need to set aside to marinade long just a few minutes and hold in the air letting it drip off before you put on the grill or use a grill pan at home on the stove or use the grill pan put in the oven turn on to broil.

 

Step 3, 4, 5 - Most important part to a perfect steak is NOT to move around on the grill. Don't play w/ it just flip it over three times every 3 mins for a total cook time of 12 mins at about 400/450 degrees. Never put over a open flame if the grill flares up blow on it quick this will cause it to cook unevenly. 

one flip is below

After total 6 mins rotate up and down and flip this bottom picture is on 3rd and final flip the top you can see is perfect grill marks and is done.

Step 7 - After last 3mins for a total of 12 mins you can take it off put on a cutting board and let it SIT for another 5/10mins this will allow the juices to flow back all around the steak. Heat causes the juices to go to the middle if u don't let it rest and cut into the steak to soon it will explode, yes even ruin the steak causing it to not cook evenly.

Then after a total about 20mins from start to finish you should end up w/ a steak like below juicy & moist but still not bleeding on the plate. This is considered in the industry as medium rare.

Step 8 - I slice up a NY Strip Steak as follows in evenly cut slices to serve for the table.

Step 9 - I enjoy my steak w/ Garlic whipped potatoes that's another special of mine. This night I went w/ that and corn on the Cobb. Yes two starches if u want cook up some spinach and rice doesn't matter I'm here to tell u how the steak not what goes w/ it.
