Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 New York strip steak
Seasonings:
- Salt (to taste)
- Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 sprigs rosemary or thyme
Cooking and Sauce Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons (28 grams) butter
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) heavy cream
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) gorgonzola cheese (crumbled)
- 2 tablespoons (8 grams) chopped parsley
Instructions
- Thoroughly blot the New York strip steak with paper towels to remove excess moisture, then liberally season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Position a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, allowing it to become intensely hot and smoking, which ensures a perfect sear.
- Drizzle vegetable oil into the scorching skillet, tilting to distribute evenly. Carefully place the steak in the pan, allowing it to sear undisturbed for 30 seconds.
- Using tongs, flip the steak repeatedly to develop a rich, caramelized crust, cooking approximately 8 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F for medium-rare.
- During the final moments of cooking, introduce butter, minced garlic, and fresh herbs to the skillet, gently basting the steak with the aromatic, melted mixture.
- Transfer the steak to a cutting board, letting it rest for 2-3 minutes to redistribute internal juices and ensure maximum tenderness.
- While the steak rests, prepare the gorgonzola cream sauce by heating heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
- Whisk gorgonzola cheese into the simmering cream, stirring continuously until the sauce becomes smooth and fully incorporated. Season with freshly ground black pepper.
- Slice the steak against the grain to maximize tenderness, then plate and generously drizzle with the luxurious gorgonzola cream sauce.
- Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley for a vibrant finishing touch.
Notes
- Select a high-quality New York strip steak with good marbling for maximum flavor and tenderness.
- Use a cast iron skillet for the best sear and even heat distribution, creating a delicious caramelized crust.
- Pat the steak completely dry before seasoning to ensure a perfect golden-brown exterior and prevent steaming.
- Let the steak rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking to guarantee even cooking and optimal juiciness.
- For gluten-free option, replace butter with ghee or olive oil and ensure all ingredients are certified gluten-free.
- Customize the gorgonzola cream sauce by adjusting cheese intensity or substituting with blue cheese or goat cheese for different flavor profiles.
- Use an instant-read meat thermometer to achieve precise doneness without overcooking the steak.
