PAN ROASTED STRIP LOIN FOR ONE

Steps:

• Put 2 tablespoons of the butter and oil into a thick bottomed frying pan over medium high heat.
• Season the steak with salt and pepper.
• When the mixture foams add the steak.
• Sear on the first side until carmelized -- about 7-8 minutes and flip.
• Cook on the other side for about 8-10 minutes for medium rare.
• Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter on top for a rich buttery flavour.
• Remove from pan to a rack and let rest for a few minutes, then enjoy!

PAN SEARED OVEN ROASTED STRIP STEAK

Steps:

• Allow the steaks to rest at room temperature for 30-60 minutes if you have time. Preheat oven to 400° convection or 425° conventional but you may adjust this some for your needs,
• Trim and season steaks to your taste with coarse salt and pepper. I use 7:2:2 (my homemade seasoning) or use a seasoning of your choice.
• In an oven-safe pan over medium-high heat, melt one tablespoon of butter or use oil. Some prefer oil at this point due to the lower smoke point of butter, but I have never had a problem.
• When hot, sear both sides of the steaks for 2-3 minutes. Sear close to the final color you want. Transfer pan to the preheated oven.
• Now comes the variables. The steak thickness, how long you seared, and the true temperature of the oven. It takes about 7-8 minutes to get to about 145° (medium). Remove from the oven and allow to rest for a few minutes before serving. COOK TO THE TEMPERATURE, NOT BY TIME ALONG.
• Remember that you may get a few more degrees after removal from the oven.
