Cuisine: Argentinian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 NY strip steaks
- 1/2 cup roasted garlic
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Remove NY strip steaks from refrigerator 30-45 minutes before cooking to allow them to reach room temperature, which ensures even cooking.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C) and prepare a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan for high-heat searing.
- For roasted garlic, cut the top off a whole garlic head, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in aluminum foil, and roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes until soft and golden brown.
- Pat steaks dry with paper towels and generously season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Heat skillet over high heat with 2 tablespoons of olive oil until it's smoking hot.
- Sear steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side to develop a rich, caramelized crust, creating a beautiful golden-brown exterior.
- For medium-rare, transfer skillet with steaks to preheated oven and cook for additional 5-7 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 130-135°F.
- While steaks are cooking, prepare chimichurri by combining roasted garlic, chopped parsley, red wine vinegar, remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Remove steaks from oven and let rest on a cutting board for 7-10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Slice steaks against the grain and generously drizzle with prepared chimichurri sauce before serving.
Tips
- • Temperature is Key: Always let your steaks come to room temperature before cooking to ensure even heat distribution and perfect doneness.• Invest in a Meat Thermometer: For consistently perfect steaks, use an instant-read thermometer to check internal temperature.• High Heat is Your Friend: A smoking hot skillet is crucial for developing that beautiful golden-brown crust that locks in flavor.• Rest Your Meat: Allowing steaks to rest after cooking helps redistribute juices, ensuring each bite is incredibly tender and flavorful.• Roast Garlic in Advance: You can roast garlic ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator to save preparation time.• Slice Against the Grain: Always cut your steak perpendicular to the muscle fibers to maximize tenderness.• Don't Skimp on Seasoning: Generously season your steaks with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavors.
