Here's a fast, fuss-free way to cook the perfect steak-no smoky stovetop cooking necessary. The secret to getting a nice sear is to preheat the skillet in the oven. When the meat hits the hot surface, it creates a delectable crust.

Time 45m

Yield 2 steaks

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 New York strip steaks (each 8 to 10 ounces and 3/4 inch thick)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 medium sprigs thyme
1 large sprig rosemary, cut in half
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold

Steps:

  • Sprinkle both sides of the steaks all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, then let sit out at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, position a rack in the center of the oven and place a 12-inch cast-iron skillet on the rack. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and add the steaks, making sure they are spaced apart, so they don't steam. Top each steak with 1 sprig of thyme, one-half sprig of rosemary and 1 tablespoon cold butter. Return the skillet to the oven and cook until the undersides of steaks are well browned, about 4 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and flip the steaks using tongs, then continue to cook until desired doneness, about 2 minutes more for medium-rare and 3 minutes more for medium. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let rest 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
