NY Strip Steak

The strip steak is known by many different names; to us, it’ll always be a New York Strip. This steak is cut from the short loin and offers intense flavor and marbling. Furthermore, it tends to be one of the top 3 most well-known and loved steaks, accompanied by filet mignon and ribeye. However, while not being as large as a ribeye, this remains a great steak for single portion. Also, strip steaks are often more affordable than other top steaks, adding to their popularity. Always available in Prime or Premium Choice.

How To Cook & “Butter Baste”

A Strip Steak is perfect for grilling or pan searing. When pan searing, it is best to use a cast iron skillet. This will develop the best crispy crust on the outside of your steak. Try tossing in some butter, garlic, and thyme or rosemary into the pan. This will help enhance the flavor and juiciness of the meat. Additionally, a common method is to “butter baste.” This means that once the butter has melted in the pan, use a small spoon to constantly scoop and pour the butter over the steak. You will want to flip the steak frequently here to avoid any burning. Only butter baste at the end to finish cooking a steak. Ensure the internal temperature has reached your desired point before serving. This method can be used for any steak cut.
