New York Strip Steak - olive oil

Method

• 1.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, salt, minced garlic, and liquid smoke.
• Place the steaks in a large refrigerator bag and pour the marinade over the steaks.
• Slightly shake the bag to ensure the marinade is completely covering the steak.
• Place in the refrigerator for, at least, 30 minutes.
• However, I prefer you allow the steaks to marinate as long as possible.
• 2.
• After the steaks have marinated, remove from the refrigerator and allow to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes on a cooling rack.
• Season on both sides with a little salt and pepper.
• While the steaks are sitting, heat the grill pan to medium high heat and drizzle with olive oil.
• It wont take long for the pan to get hot and you do not want that olive oil to burn, so when ready, place the steaks on the grill pan for 5-7 minutes on each side.
• Note: When you put the steaks on the grill dont continuously flip them or press them against the pan with a spatula thinking they will get done faster.
• You want to let the steaks cook evenly and retain the flavor.
• 3.
• Once the steaks are finished cooking on each side, set aside and let rest for about 5 minutes.
• If you cut the steaks too soon, you will lose a lot of flavor.
• You have to let those juices settle in the meat.
• Serve with your desired side items.
