Better than restaurant quality New York Strip Steaks…

Posts may contain affiliate links. Please see my Privacy Policy for further details.

So as you all know there is this on-going bbq battle in my house – going on what 3, maybe 4 years now.  I’ve finally given up on getting a new one.. for now.  While it’s a nice-to-have-a-new-one it’s not a necessity for me.  Almost everything you make on a bbq, I can make either on the indoor grill (word to the wise, make sure you have a great exhaust fan) or oven.  From my baked corn and baked sweet potato to baked russets I’ve got a good grip on making it just as fabulous, if not more, indoors.  Well the one thing that always besieged me was steaks.  Oh how I truly love a fat juicy steak (with ketchup…  yes with ketchup!  SHUT IT, don’t judge!  I like ketchup!) sadly the steak doesn’t like me. My stomach says “OH HELL NO!”… that’s all I’m gonna say ’bout that.

So juicy. So tender. So AMAZING! Go get your forks for this!

Now Mr. Fantabulous loves his steak!  He’s a true carnivore.  Now I always thought an amazing steak could only be had via a grill of sorts.  I tried in the past, numerous times, trying to make it indoors but it never EVER worked out. It was either tough as shoe leather, raw or I would end up smoking us out of the house using the indoor grill.  Okay truth be told, maybe I did make a a bit more smoke than normal (I figured if I kept smoking him out of the house that he’d get the hint and we’d go get a new bbq)… sigh.. he just turned on the big exhaust fan and helped fan out the rooms.  Oh gee.. thanks honey.  Damn it! 🙂

It wasn’t until I was watching Hell’s Kitchen a few ago did I actually pay attention while they were making steaks.  Pan seared then in the oven.  Hmmm… me thinks they were on to something 🙂

So that night, I stopped at our local butcher’s shop (God I seriously love the local butcher type store versus the commercial grocery meat department). I seasoned it, let it rest and then gave it a shot.  When I told Mr. Fantabulous what I was doing he said “um baby, make sure you have the exhaust fans on BEFORE you start cooking.”  LI swear if he wasn’t so damn hot I’d beat that man.  LOL

Well let me tell you what people.  This steak was perfect.  No, it was BEYOND PERFECTION!  I mean.. I would put this up against any restaurant steak.  It’s THAT good.

Now I did think maybe I got lucky but I’ve made this dish umpteen times since I first made it and it’s been perfection every single time.

Add the Worcestershire and seasonings then let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Pan searing for about 5 minutes
Pan Seared for ~ 5 minutes
Add your butter and thyme and pop it into your oven!

Ingredients

  • 2 1-1 1/2” thick cuts New York Steak, fat trimmed
  • 1 Tbl Worcestershire
  • 1–2 Tsp Montreal Steak Seasoning
  • 2 Tbl butter, unsalted
  • 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 1 Tbl Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. Pat the steaks dry. Add 1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire to the one side. Add half of the seasoning and press down. Flip the steak and add the remaining Worcestershire and seasoning. All to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 400f. Place a cast-iron pan or stainless (oven-safe) pan (NOT NON STICK!), over medium-high heat. Drizzle the olive oil onto the steak and flip to get all sides coated.
  3. When the pan is super hot (add a few drops of water to it. If they dance around and evaporate almost immediately then you’re good!) add the steaks. DO NOT FLIP yet.
  4. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until a good crust forms.
  5. Flip over and immediately shut off the heat to the pan. Working fast, add the sprigs of thyme and pats of butter on top. Put the pan into the oven. *NOTE – This step should take you MAYBE 5-10 seconds at most. This is why it says “working fast”.
  6. Cook per the ‘doneness’ in the Notes field. When done, remove the pan from the oven and plate the steak.
  7. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before cutting.

    Amazing! but when I cooked it on the stove it made it where we couldn’t breathe. The “fumes” were awful. not sure what went wrong there. But I have never had a better steak ever

      Hi Teresa!

      Really stupid question but did you put your oven hood or vent on? The steak is cooked at a super high heat as you know.

      I’m super happy you loved it!

      Best Kitchen Wishes!

    It was okay. Definitely good, but not great. The final product was tender, but the taste was a little bland. Cooking times were accurate.

      I don’t think you quite follow.

      You’re going to cook it on the stove top for 5 minutes (oven should be preheated). After 5 minutes, you need to WORK FAST and flip, shut off the stove top, add the thyme/butter and IMMEDIATELY put into the oven to finish cooking. This step should take you MAYBE 5-10 seconds at most. This is why it says “working fast”. Once you add the butter/thyme, IMMEDIATELY put it in the oven.

      Best Kitchen Wishes!

    Great technique. It works. Really follow the times listed for the oven–accurate, and you can’t un-cook a steak.

      Hi Sherry,

      The reason is most non-stick pans are not oven-safe nor can handle the high-heat of an oven. Also, they are poor conductors of heat and rarely heat evenly.

      There are also studies that depending on what type of coating is used in your non-stick pan, toxic gasses can be produced under high heat.

      I’m not familiar with that brand of pan you have. Check out their website if they consider it safe.

      Personally, I wouldn’t use non-stick as you will never get that sear or even cook that you’d get from stainless steel or cast iron.

      Best Kitchen Wishes!

    My family REALLY enjoyed them! I cooked these for Father’s Day. My husband liked them so much he told me I could cook steaks more often. 🙂 That is the best compliment since I have not cooked steaks since we got together over 11 years ago!
