Experience a deeply satisfying and richly flavored meal reminiscent of a classic steakhouse with this recipe. At the heart of the dish is a generous New York strip steak, about 10 ounces, cooked to your precise preference. The steak is seared to create a beautiful crust, then finished with a fragrant herb butter that melts into every crevice, enhancing the natural savory notes of the beef.
Alongside the steak, you'll find tender broccoli florets, roasted in the oven until they are slightly charred and perfectly crisp-tender. The roasting process brings out the natural sweetness of the broccoli, complementing the richness of the steak. To complete the meal, enjoy a soft, airy bread roll, baked in the style of a muffin.
Its light, spongy texture is the perfect counterpoint to the steak and broccoli. The roll is generously crowned with a thick layer of whipped honey butter, adding a touch of sweetness and luxuriousness that elevates the entire dish. The combined flavors and textures create a truly indulgent and comforting experience.
For best results, use a meat thermometer to ensure your steak is cooked to your desired doneness. Aim for 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, 150°F for medium-well, or 160°F for well-done. Whether you prefer to flip your steak once or multiple times during cooking is entirely up to you.
A single flip helps to maintain even spice distribution and ensures a juicy, evenly cooked center. Multiple flips, on the other hand, encourage the development of a deeply caramelized crust on the exterior, creating layers of crispy, flavorful fat. Either way, you're in for a treat.
