Ingredients

  • 8 oz New York Strip steaks
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ cup butter softened
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary

Instructions

  • Remove the steaks from the fridge to let them reach room temperature about 30 minutes before you start cooking.
  • Make a herb butter by stirring together the butter, garlic, salt, pepper, marjoram, thyme, and rosemary. Set it aside for a few minutes.
  • Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a cast iron skillet over medium high heat until it begins to shimmer and almost starts to smoke. Add the steaks and let them sear, undisturbed, for about 3 minutes to develop a crust. Turn the steak to the other side and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until it reaches the desired doneness. Use an instant read thermometer to accurately check for doneness.
  • Transfer the steaks to a large plate and baste with the pan juices. Top each steak with a tablespoon of the herb butter and then loosely tent with foil. Let the steaks rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
