💭 Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some questions (and answers!) readers often ask about this recipe.
Your broiler will be between 450 and 500°F.
A grill pan has raised lines that create grill marks when a steak is placed on it, while a skillet does not.
How long should you cook New York Strip?
According to the USDA, it is important to cook beef to a minimum temperature of 145°F and then allow to rest for at least 3 minutes. This is considered "medium."
- 4 minutes per side for medium-rare
- 5 minutes per side for medium
- 6 minutes for medium-well
Keep in mind that the cooking time is an estimate and will vary as thick steaks will cook more slowly than thinner steak.
Steak Doneness Chart:
- Medium Rare: 145 degrees F
- Medium: 160 degrees F
⭐ Tips
Here are some tips to keep in mind when cooking NY strip steak:
✔️ For best results, take the steaks out of the fridge about 10 minutes before cooking. You don't want them to be room temperature, of course, just allow them to rest a little bit.
✔️ Gently pat steaks with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. The key to getting a good sear is starting with a super hot pan and a dry steak.
✔️ I like to use a Bluetooth Thermometer with Probe because it helps to make sure that the steak is done perfectly every time.
✔️ Once cooked, place a piece of aluminum foil over the top of the serving platter and allow your steaks to rest for 5 minutes before slicing so that the juices have a chance to redistribute throughout the meat. This is the trick to a really juicy steak.
Storage
To Store: Keep leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for about 3-4 days. (It's really delicious on Cobb Salad instead of chicken).
To Reheat: Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Place a wire rack on top of a rimmed baking sheet. Place the steak on top of the wire rack and cook until the internal temperature reaches 110 degrees F.
To Freeze: Wrap the cooked steak in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Slide it into a freezer bag. Be sure to label and seal. Frozen cooked steaked should be used within 6 months.
To Thaw: Remove the package from the freezer and place it into a rimmed dish. Allow it to thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
(These are my favorite airtight containers.)
📖 Variations
The first time you try any new recipe we recommend that you make it just as it is written on the recipe card since that is how the recipe has been tested. However, the next time you make our recipe, you might want to try one of these ideas:
- This same method can be used for other cuts of beef such as t-bone steak, porterhouse steaks, or ribeye steak.
- If you do not have a grill pan, you can use a cast iron skillet.
- The best way to add extra flavor is to marinate the New York steak first. Our easy steak marinade includes minced garlic cloves, Worcestershire and soy sauce, along with lemon juice and a few other ingredients.
🍴 Serving Suggestions
For this recipe, I finish the steak off by adding some of our garlic and herb butter. Cowboy Butter would be delicious on this as well.
However, you can use any compound butter you like, or just use regular salted butter. Or, you could serve it with Cowboy Butter Dipping Sauce on the side.
Here are some side dishes I love to serve with NY strip steak:
- Garlic Green Beans - if you love garlic, this is the side for you.
- Rice Cooker Parmesan Risotto - you'll love how easy this recipe is!
- Crispy Smashed Potatoes - all the delicious flavor of a baked potato, but so easy and seasoned to perfection.
