New York Strip Steak

[jrotes]

I am having my Sister and her husband over tomorrow night for dinner and trying to come up with the best seasonings to BBQ the steaks. Any one have a real good recipe????

 

Thanks in advance!

How about Steak au Poivre or Whiskey Steak? Not grilled though but you do get to light the alcohol and use heavy cream.

Montreal seasoning is perfect! Just enough, not too much!

don't go crazy with seasoning a nice cut of meat. salt and pepper are a must. then you can go garlic and oregano... but not much more

[bigb3630123]

I agree.... just some salt and plenty of pepper sometimes I do the garlic and onion powder on there a bit. lemon pepper can taste good. basic is goooood

Some of the best steaks are just Peppered and Salted.

 

Go to the butcher counter and ask for a good cut. Usually a thicker cut is going to be better. Let the steak sit for about an hour before you cook. At least 15 minutes before you put it on the grill, season the steak (really, no reason not to do it when you take the steak out). Black Peppercorn fresh ground on the steak, if you're going to salt it, for the love of steak, be sure you use sea salt.

 

As for cooking to the right consistency, it's too much an art to really be able to pass that along here. Just don't over cook it. As long as you sear the steak, you're pretty much safe.

 

Good luck.

One of my favorites is some jalapeno jelly and Jack Daniels BBQ sauce mixed together to make a glaze. Use it to marinade and not post cooking. That combo also is amazing as the sauce on a BBQ chicken pizza.

 

Or the other good one is just a big wedge of butter on top of the steak as it cooks.

As others have stated, salt and pepper

 

Then some herbs like Rosemary and some garlic would be perfect

Fresh ground pepper and sea salt, that is all you need.

 

I have also cooked New York Strip steaks with bacon wrapped around them and they turn out very nicely that way too.

I used sea salt and a little Chipotle pepper to give it a touch of smokey flavor. A little garlic. Simple and quick

[jrotes]

Thanks for everyones responses! I used seasalt, pepper, and a little garlic. It turned out soooo good!

I agree with not over-seasoning. That can really kill it.

 

Quality cracked pepper, and a good sea salt are our favorites. Doesn't matter what kind of steak.

Olive oil, salt, pepper.... Every once in a while if I buy a cheaper cut I'll marinade it in some italian dressing and good soy sauce.

[Siper2]

We actually like Emeril's "Essence" seasoning. But I wouldn't put too much on there.

If you like teriyaki, http://www.SoyVay.com is the best stuff I've ever had, the Veri-Veri Teriyaki from their product line. Excellent stuff.

 

But I don't think I'd use it on a NY strip. It's great on flank steak though (which I actually love).

oooh teriyaki flank steak is awesome

All good steak starts with the right selecton of meat quality. dont even think of getting the meat from the meat isle of your local supermarket, because none of it is USDA prime, its all USDA choice grade (crap). you will want to go to a butcher or fine foods store with a meat counter for the good prime aged stuff. the meat should be $15/lb for a good Prime angus shell "strip" steak. Also make sure the cut you get is atleast 1" thick. thin means it will cook too fast and drain all the juicy flavor out.

 

once you got your steaks. season with your favorite seasonings and use a good amout of salt or the meat will taste bland. use alittle EV olive oil to keep the steak from sticking when you cook it and always use tongs to flip the meat you as you dont want to poke holes in the meal allow the juice to drain out. cook to medium rare/medium for a shell steak.

It can be great even without the teriyaki! So many people shun flank steak, but it's a bad move. I've always found it very flavorful. Cook it right, cut it on the bias....... awesome stuff.

oh ya, flank steak can definitely be good. It's not NY strip/porterhouse/filet mignon but it's definitely delicious if it's done right

[Guest heightsgtltd]

flank needs to be marinated for a while and then its all good

 

Prus one on the soyvey!

[Siper2]

Sweet!

 

Personal preference on the marinade. I practically grew up on unmarinaded flank steak, and potatoes.

[Guest heightsgtltd]

Gotcha. I find flank a bit tought for my tastes without something to break down the fibers

[Siper2]

Have you tried cutting it on the bias (at an angle)? Helps a lot with the texture. Well, that and doneness, of course!
