USDA Prime New York Strip

Start by generously seasoning the steak with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, allowing it to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. This step enhances the natural flavor of the beef and aids in forming a perfect crust. Heat your grill or cast-iron skillet to high heat. For grilling, sear the steak over direct heat for 3–4 minutes per side to create gorgeous char marks, then move it to indirect heat to finish cooking to your preferred doneness (130°F for medium-rare). If pan-searing, cook the steak for 3 minutes per side in Pecan Oil, adding a pat of butter, crushed garlic, and fresh rosemary into the pan for a luxurious baste in the final minute.

After cooking, rest the steak for 5–10 minutes, loosely tented with foil, to allow the juices to redistribute. Slice against the grain for optimal tenderness and serve with your choice of sides, like herb-roasted potatoes or grilled asparagus. For an authentic Texas twist, pair with a smoky mesquite barbecue sauce. This restaurant-quality dish brings the rich, tender flavors of USDA Prime beef directly to your table.
