Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs New York Strip Steaks (2 steaks) (or Ribeye or Top Sirloin Steaks (1 lb each steak, 1 1/4" thick))
1/2 Tbsp vegetable oil (or any high heat cooking oil like canola or extra light olive oil)
1 1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic (peeled and quartered)
1 sprig fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • Thoroughly pat steak dry with paper towels. Just before cooking, generously season with 1 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper
  • Heat the cast iron pan until hot then add 1/2 Tbsp oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat. Once the oil is very hot, add steaks to the skillet. Sear the steaks on the first side for 4 minutes until a brown crust has formed then flip and cook another 3-4 minutes. Using tongs, turn the steak on its sides to render the white fat and sear the edges (1-minute per edge).
  • Reduce heat to medium and immediately add 2 Tbsp butter, quartered garlic cloves and rosemary to the pan. Spoon the butter sauce over the steak, tilting the pan to get butter on your spoon. Continue spooning the sauce over the steak for a minute or until the steak is about 5-10 degrees from your desired doneness (the temperature will continue to rise another 5-10 degrees while steaks rest).
  • Transfer steak to a cutting board, loosely cover and rest 10 minutes before slicing into 1/2" strips to serve. Spoon extra butter sauce over sliced steak to serve.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Choose the right steak: For this recipe, a well-marbled steak like ribeye or strip steak works best. Look for steaks that are at least 1 inch thick so they can withstand the high heat of the skillet without overcooking.
  • Season the steak generously: Don't be shy with the salt and pepper! Seasoning the steak well before cooking helps to develop a flavorful crust.
  • Use a hot skillet: A hot skillet is essential for getting a good sear on the steak. Preheat your skillet over medium-high heat for at least 5 minutes before adding the steak.
  • Sear the steak for a few minutes per side: The goal is to get a nice, caramelized crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside juicy and tender. Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
  • Make the pink peppercorn butter while the steak is resting: This simple sauce is the perfect complement to the steak. Simply melt some butter in a saucepan and add in some pink peppercorns. Cook for a few minutes, or until the butter is fragrant and the peppercorns are softened.

Conclusion:

This skillet steak with pink peppercorn butter is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. The steak is juicy and flavorful, and the pink peppercorn butter adds a touch of elegance. Serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
