Ingredients
Ingredients:
4 (8- to 10-ounce) New York strip steaks
1 tablespoon Daddy Hinkle’s Instant Meat Marinade
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Savory Spice Shop Smoked Spanish Sweet Paprika
1 tablespoon Savory Spice Shop Black Garlic Salt or kosher salt
1 tablespoon Savory Spice Shop Whiskey Barrel Smoked Black Pepper
Garlic Butter (recipe below)
Directions:
- Pat steaks with a paper towel to remove as much moisture as possible.
- In a small bowl, combine Daddy Hinkle’s marinade, brown sugar, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture into the steaks on all sides, then allow to sit at room temperature for about an hour.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat. Sear steaks 2 minutes per side, creating a crisp crust. Move skillet to oven, cooking to desired doneness. This won’t take long; for a medium steak, at 140 degrees in the middle, set your timer for just 3 minutes. Pro tip: Remember that the temperature of your steak will continue to rise at least another 5 degrees while the steaks rest.
- Top each steak with warmed garlic butter. Serve immediately with your favorite steakhouse sides.
