Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Main dish
Ingredients
FOR THE STEAK
- 1 lb. Walmart Fresh Angus New York Strip Steak
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
FOR THE BUTTER
- 1 c. butter, softened
- Zest of half a lemon
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small shallot, minced
- 2 tbsp. dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp. prepared horseradish
- ¼ tsp. paprika
- 2 tbsp. freshly chopped parsley
- 1 tbsp. freshly chopped chives
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
FOR THE POTATOES
- 3 tbsp. vegetable oil, divided
- 1 lb. baby potatoes, quartered
Instructions
- Remove steak from refrigerator and let come to room temperature, 30 minutes. Season all over with salt and pepper
- Meanwhile, make cowboy butter: In a medium bowl, combine all cowboy butter ingredients and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place on plastic wrap and form into a log. Refrigerate until firm, 30 minutes.
- Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until fork tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Drop approximately 1 tablespoon cowboy butter into potatoes and toss until butter is completely melted and potatoes are coated. Remove potatoes from skillet, wipe out pan, and return to heat.
- Heat remaining vegetable oil until just beginning to smoke. Add steak and cook, flipping occasionally, until a golden crust begins to form on both sides of the steak, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium low and add approximately 2 tbsp cowboy butter to the pan. Using a kitchen towel, carefully grip the skillet handle and tilt towards you so that the melting butter forms a pool at the bottom of the skillet. Using a spoon, continually baste butter onto steak to form a deeper golden crust. Flip steak and repeat, 2 to 3 minutes in total. Using a meat thermometer, check for doneness: 120-125°F for medium rare, 130°F for medium.
- Remove steak from skillet and place on cutting board to rest, 10 minutes. Slice and serve with potatoes, dotted with cowboy butter.
