Ingredients

  • Steak (New York Strip)
  • Kosher Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • Olive Oil
  • Fennel Pollen (optional)

Instructions

  • Pat the steak dry with a paper towel
  • Generously salt all sides of the meat. You will probably use more salt than you expect.
  • Generously pepper all sides of the meat.
  • Drop a small amount of olive oil onto the steak, and spread it around to all sides – enough to cover the meat completely.
  • Let meat rest for 10 minutes.
  • Heat frying pan on medium-high heat until it is hot. Place meat onto it and don’t move for 6 minutes.
  • Flip the steak over and cook for 6 minutes. *These times produce a steak that is done ‘medium-well’ for a 1-inch thick steak.
  • Remove from heat and let rest on a cooling rack, with a plate underneath, for 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle a small amount of fennel pollen onto the steak prior to serving.
