Ingredients

• 2 NY strip steaks, cut 1 1/2 inches thick

• Kosher salt

• freshly cracked black pepper

• 2 Tablespoons avocado oil or neutral, high smoke point oil

• 4 sprigs thyme or rosemary

• 4 cloves garlic

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter

Instructions

Prep

Preheat Wolf Oven to 325°F Convection Mode. Coat the steaks with avocado oil, then liberally season with Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Set aside.

Sear

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat for two to three minutes. Add the steaks and sear for three to four minutes per side, flipping once the steaks release easily from the pan. Optional: add the herbs, garlic, and butter.

Finish in the Oven

Transfer the skillet to the middle rack of the oven (rack position three or four). Cook for about ten to twenty minutes, depending on your desired doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature:

115°F for rare

125°F for medium rare

135°F for medium

145°F for medium well

155°F for well done

Rest

Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest, loosely covered with aluminum foil. The temperature will continue to rise while resting.

Serve

Serve the steaks whole or sliced.
