Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 15-20 minutes (+ 5 minutes to rest)
Yield: 4 4-oz. servings of steak

Ingredients

strip steaks
Sea salt and black pepper
olive oil
unsalted butter

white mushrooms
rosemary
garlic

Directions to make

Place the top oven rack in the center position and preheat the oven to 400°F. Generously season the steaks on both sides with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.

Add olive oil to a large cast iron skillet set over medium-high heat. Heat skillet until very hot, approximately 5 minutes, before adding the meat. Sear the steaks until nicely browned, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove skillet from heat and top each steak with 1 tablespoon unsalted butter.
Transfer the skillet to a pre-heated oven and roast it for 8-10 minutes or until an instant-read meat thermometer reads 130 degrees for medium rare.

Note: Actual cook time will vary depending on several factors, including internal starting temperature, thickness of the steaks, individual oven variances, and preferred level of ‘doneness.’ Check after 6-7 minutes and adjust cook time accordingly.

Once the steaks are in the oven, add the remaining butter to another skillet set over medium heat. Add mushrooms, rosemary, and garlic powder. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are nicely browned and start to release their juices, approximately 5-6 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the steaks to a large plate. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and rest for 5 minutes. (The Internal temperature will continue to rise several degrees while they rest.) Remove the foil and divide the steaks into 4 equal-sized portions. Serve immediately topped with some of the sautéed mushrooms.
