For the easiest way to cook a New York Strip Steak, heat a skillet on medium-high heat and cook for 2 minutes per side before transfering to a pre-heated oven at 350 F for another 7 to 10 minutes. One simple way to elevate your New York Strip Steak is to add a compound butter. Simply mix together softened butter, garlic, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Then, roll the butter into a log and refrigerate until solid. Before serving, slice off 1-2 tablespoons of the compound butter and top your steak with it.

The New York Strip is a juicy, tender and flavorful steakhouse classic cut. The steak has a wonderful mouthfeel, and the flavor profile is intense and delicious. This is a perfect steak for a special occasion.

Some great side dishes that pair well with a New York Strip steak include mashed potatoes, roasted Brussels sprouts, and a simple green salad. For sauces, a classic barnaise or hollandaise sauce would be perfect, or you could try a chimichurri sauce for a bit of a Latin flair. Herbs that pair well with steak include thyme, rosemary, and parsley.
