Perfect New York strip

Anyone who loves steak and cooks strives for the perfect steak at home. whether it’s for your family, party, or even a special treat to yourself. The industry wants you to believe its something you cannot perfect at home, this recipe proves otherwise! New York Strip steaks have always been my favorite cut. Very flavorful, uniform and affordable. This steak will easily feed two with the right sides. The uniformity of the steak helps it cook evenly and the lack of large chunks of marbled fat that separate the meat like the ribeye and rib cap allows for the fat on the outside to render at the same rate as the meat itself cooks. Go grab that NY Strip and start cooking!! You wont regret it!
