Ingredients

  • (6-8 ounce
    1 inch thick) New York strip steaks
    2 unit
  • Salt
    1 unit
  • tbs cracked black peppercorns
    divided
    1 unit
  • tbs unsalted butter
    2 unit
  • olive oil (not extra-virgin)
    1 1/2 tsp

Method

1
Season each steak with salt and a pinch of cracked pepper on both sides. Set aside.
2
Melt butter with olive oil in a stainless steel skillet (don't even think of using nonstick) over medium high heat.

Add steaks and cook 4-5 minutes per side for medium rare, 6-7 minutes for medium, and 8-9 minutes for toast.
4
Remove steaks from pan and keep warm.
5
Pour out pan drippings but do not scrape browned bits off. Deglaze pan with broth and bring to a boil over high heat until reduced by 2/3.
6
Add remaining ingredients and remaining pepper. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced to a 1/2 cup.
7
Drizzle sauce over steaks and serve warm.
