New York Strip Texas Roadhouse is a traditional steakhouse staple probably grilled to succulent perfection. They employ thick New York strip steaks, a cut celebrated for its depth of flavor and even tenderness. The steaks may be marinated first for added flavor, but little information is available. Then they are seasoned heavily with a mix of spices, perhaps featuring their special steak seasoning or paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
The steaks are then cooked to your doneness, possibly seared on a hot grill or cast iron pan for a crust of flavor. Texas Roadhouse may also butter the steaks, herbs, and garlic when cooking for an added layer of deep flavor. One important detail in all this is allowing hot steak to rest before cutting. This redistributes the juices throughout the meat so that every bite is tender and full of flavor. The end result is a juicy New York strip steak with a well-flavored crust and perfectly cooked interior.
New York Strip Texas Roadhouse Recipe
here is a recipe for a New York strip steak based on their cooking techniques:
Ingredients:
- For the Steak:
- 2 New York strip steaks (each about 1-inch thick)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Texas Roadhouse Steak Seasoning (optional, or use a blend of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper)
- For Cooking:
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary (optional)
- 1 clove garlic, smashed (optional)
Instructions:
- Optional Marinate: Texas Roadhouse may marinate their steaks, but specifics are unclear. If you like, you can marinate your steaks for a minimum of 30 minutes in a marinade of your choice (e.g., olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, herbs). Dry the steaks with a paper towel before cooking.
- Preheat Cooking Method: Select your cooking method:
- Grill: Heat your grill to high heat (about 450-500°F).
- Cast Iron Skillet: Get a cast iron skillet heated on your stovetop over medium-high heat.
- Season the Steaks: Dry the steaks with paper towels. Season liberally on both sides with salt, black pepper, and Texas Roadhouse Steak Seasoning (or your seasoning blend).
- Sear the Steak:
- Grill: Put the steaks on the hot grill and sear 2-3 minutes per side for a medium-rare steak. Vary cooking time according to your level of doneness (longer for well-done, shorter for rare).
- Cast Iron Skillet: Sear the steaks in the hot pan for 2-3 minutes per side for a good sear.
- Grill: Put the steaks on the hot grill and sear 2-3 minutes per side for a medium-rare steak. Vary cooking time according to your level of doneness (longer for well-done, shorter for rare).
- Basting (Optional): After searing, as an added flavor, you can put a piece of butter, a rosemary sprig, and a smashed clove of garlic into the pan and baste the steaks with melted butter as they continue cooking for the rest of the time. 6. Resting is Key: When cooked according to your desired doneness, take the steaks out of the heat and place them on a plate. Tent the steaks loosely with foil and allow them to rest for 5-10 minutes. This redistributes the juices through the meat, making it a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Serve: Slice the steak against the grain and serve!
Tips:
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak to your level of doneness and to ensure it’s safe to eat:
- 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare
- 160°F (71°C) for medium
- 170°F (77°C) for well-done
- The cooking times given are approximate and may be different based on the thickness of your steaks and your cooking method. It’s always best to use a meat thermometer for precise measurement.
- To let the steak rest is to enable the juices to redistribute, so that they do not escape when you slice it, leading to a drier and less tender steak.
