NY Strip Steak with Herb Compound Butter
Ingredients
For the potatoes
- 1 lb Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 tbsps grapeseed oil or your favorite high heat oil
- To taste kosher salt
- To taste black pepper
- 2 sprigs rosemary roughly chopped
For the herb compound butter
- ½ lb unsalted butter softened
- 6 sprigs thyme picked and chopped
- ¼ bunch parsley chopped
- 1 lemon
For the steak
- 2 ButcherBox US Pasture-Raised NY Strip Steaks
- 2 tbsps grapeseed oil or your favorite high heat oil
For the green beans
- 1 tbsps olive oil
- ½ lb green beans trimmed
- 2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
Prepare the potatoes:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and set the rack to the middle position. Cut the potatoes into 1-inch pieces, toss with oil, salt, and pepper, then roast on a parchment-lined tray for 45 minutes, rotating every 15 minutes. Toss with rosemary when done.
Make the herb compound butter:
- Mix the softened butter with herbs, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Shape it into a log using plastic wrap and chill in the freezer until firm.
Cook the steaks:
- Heat a cast iron pan over high heat. Season the steaks with salt and pepper, and sear them in the pan, flipping every 30 seconds for 3-4 minutes for medium-rare. Let the steaks rest.
Cook the green beans:
- In a medium pan, heat olive oil over medium-high. Add green beans and cook until blistered. Lower heat, add garlic and water, cooking until tender.
Assemble the dish:
- Carve the steaks into slices, top with herb compound butter, and serve alongside the roasted potatoes and green beans.
