  • INSTRUCTIONS

    Steak:

    1. Bring steaks to room temp at least 30 minutes

    2. Heat a pan on medium-high with avocado oil.
Sear on all sides (including the fat cap).
Flip when it naturally releases and forms a deep crust

    3. Add butter, garlic, and thyme (coat thyme lightly in oil to prevent splatter).

    4. Baste (pour the hot oil over steak) until the steak reaches your preferred temp; I pull at 135°F for medium.
Rest your steak

     

    Tips: 

    Bring steak to room temp; cold steak = uneven cooking


    Know your cut (I’m NY strip forever)


    Dry, well-seasoned, and a hard sear on every side (yes… even the fat cap)

     

    Peppercorn Sauce:

    5. In the same pan as you cooked the steak, remove excess fat if needed, but leave the brown bits.
Sauté the shallot until soft

    6. Deglaze with cognac and reduce.
Add broth, cream, Dijon, peppercorns, and lemon.
Simmer until thickened; season to taste
