Instructions

Steak

  1. Step 1Bring steaks to room temp at least 30 minutes
  2. Step 2Heat 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. Step 3Add butter, garlic, and thyme (coat thyme lightly in oil to prevent splatter).
  4. Step 4Baste (pour the hot oil over steak) until the steak reaches your preferred temp; I pull at 135°F for medium. Rest your steak
  5. TipsBring steak to room temp; cold steak = uneven cooking
  6. TipsKnow your cut (I’m NY strip forever)
  7. TipsDry, well-seasoned, and a hard sear on every side (yes… even the fat cap)

Peppercorn Sauce

  1. Step 5In the same pan as you cooked the steak, remove excess fat if needed, but leave the brown bits. Sauté the shallot until soft
  2. Step 6Deglaze with cognac and reduce. Add broth, cream, Dijon, peppercorns, and lemon. Simmer until thickened; season to taste
