Variations on New York Strip
I really love the simplicity of this strip steak recipe, but you could get more complex with your marinade, adding in different herbs and spices to suit your tastes. Thyme goes great with steak, as does Italian seasoning!

Is NY strip steak tender or tough?
New York strip steak is tender, lean, and juicy!
What does it mean to “sear” steak?
In this recipe, we start by pan-searing the steak before cooking it in the oven. Searing means to briefly cook at a high temperature in order to get a brown crust on the surface of the meat. This adds texture and flavor!
What kind of pan should I use to sear steak?
I love using a cast iron skillet for pan-searing meat. It holds heat evenly, and helps to give steak that perfect crisp brown crust.
What is balsamic reduction?
This requires simmering balsamic vinegar (here mixed with red wine) until it reduces in volume. This concentrates the flavor, so it will be extra delicious when drizzled over the steak.
How do you make strip steak tender?
New York strip steak is already a very tender cut of beef, so you’re starting on a good note! But the trick to keeping steaks really juicy and tender is to cook as briefly as possible, otherwise, they’ll start to toughen up. So pan-sear, and then just a few minutes in the oven, and let it rest. It will be just perfect as long as you don’t overcook.

Ingredients
- 4 (10-ounce) New York Strip Steaks about 1-1½ inches thick
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons coarse sea salt
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 cup red wine
- ½ cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
Recommended Equipment
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Drizzle olive oil (2 tablespoons between all four steaks) on and massage into each steak. Top with garlic, sea salt, and rosemary.
2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 cloves garlic, 2 teaspoons coarse sea salt, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, 4 (10-ounce) New York Strip Steaks
Place the steaks in a ziplock bag and allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
While the steaks marinate, make the balsamic reduction: In a small saucepan, combine the wine, balsamic vinegar, and brown sugar. Stir to combine. Heat over medium-high heat until boiling, then reduce to a simmer. Continue cooking until the sauce is reduced by about half. It will become thicker and more like a syrup.
1 cup red wine, ½ cup balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
When you're ready to cook the steaks, heat a large skillet over high heat for about 4-5 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the pan and add the steaks immediately.
Sear each side for 1½ minutes. When each side has been seared, place pan in the preheated oven for approximately 4-5 minutes. If you prefer your steak more rare, about 4 minutes is perfect. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Slice steak and top with Red Wine Balsamic Reduction.

Becky’s tips
- Marinate your steaks for at least 30 minutes so the flavors infuse the steak. You can also do this overnight or a few hours in advance if you need to.
- Bring your steaks out of the fridge 10-15 minutes before cooking to avoid the meat turning tough (cold steaks on a high heat will shrink and tighten up).
- Make sure to let your steaks rest after cooking so they’re juicy and tender.
- You can easily switch up the flavors by using different herbs and spices in the marinade.
- Serve with your favorite sides.
Storage:Store New York strip steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
