1 1/2 inch thick New York steak Broil recipes?

[bigloo]

Do you only have a broiler or a full oven? Also, do you have a cast iron skillet? If you have these two you have everything you need.

Preheat oven to 500. Put cast iron pan in oven for 20 minutes. Turn stove to high. Put skillet on gas from the oven and turn over down to 425. Take the steak and season with salt and pepper. Place the steak fat side down in the skillet and render all the steak fat (yes, you will cook the steak in its own fat). When rendered fully (about 2 mins) turn the side and sear for 3-4 minutes on side one, flip and sear for 2 minutes on other side, place 2 tsbp butter on steak and place in the over. Roast until desired doneness (this depends on thickness, size). You need to puish the steak until you feel the correct doneness. Start checking after 3 minutes then every 1 minutes after. For a 1 inch steak I would say medium-rare will take 3-5 minutes.

If the meat is high quality, this will taste like a steak from Mortons or Ruth Chris. Hope this helps, let us know (with pictures) how it turns out.

If you do not have cask iron, you can get a similar but not as good result with a heavy oven proof pan.
