Pan Seared Strip Steak with Mustard Cream Sauce
New York strip steaks were on sale at my local market and I just couldn’t resist. Steak isn’t something we eat all the time because it’s pretty indulgent both in terms of health and money. And there’s nothing worse than buying an expensive piece of steak and then overcooking it at home. You can’t exactly send back overcooked steak to your own kitchen. At least not without starting a fight! However, when you are able to score a deal on quality (hopefully grass-fed and responsibly raised) beef this is definitely the perfect recipe to use. It’s simple yet gourmet and is probably one of the best steaks I’ve cooked. Armed with a cast iron pan and a thermometer, you can cook steak at home better than most chain steakhouse restaurants. Promise!
I love to accompany this steak with my Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes.
Recipe Rundown
Taste: Strip steak is full of flavor on its own but when paired with a simple mustard cream pan sauce it’s magnificent.
Texture: PERFECT. Seriously, this produces a perfectly cooked steak with a beautiful crust on the outside and tender and juicy meat on the inside.
Ease: Very quick and easy.
Appearance: I don’t think steak is the most attractive food, it’s certainly not easy to photograph but hopefully this picture makes your mouth water a little bit! Unless you’re a vegetarian then it probably doesn’t do much for you…
Pros: Restaurant quality steak at home in no time at all.
Cons: A little pricey.
Would I make this again? Yes yes yes.
