Perfectly Grilled New York Strip Steak with Rosemary Butter

Ingredients

New York strip steaks

2 (about 1-inch thick)

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Salt

1 teaspoon

Black pepper

1 teaspoon, freshly ground

Garlic powder

1 teaspoon

Unsalted butter

4 tablespoons

Fresh rosemary

2-3 sprigs

Instructions

1. Preheat the grill or a cast-iron skillet over high heat until it's very hot.
2. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Rub each steak with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
3. Place the seasoned steaks directly on the grill or skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting the time as needed for your desired doneness.
4. Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute for a more flavorful bite.
5. While the steaks are resting, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the fresh rosemary sprigs and cook for 1-2 minutes, gently swirling the pan to infuse the butter with the aromatic flavor of the rosemary.
6. Slice the steaks against the grain into thick slices and arrange them on a serving platter. Drizzle the rosemary butter over the top for a finishing touch.
7. Serve hot and savor the delightful combination of flavors!
