The eternal crowd pleaser. I made a number of variations of this recipe and always come back to this one when entertaining. Enjoy! —Sam
Ingredients
- Steak
-
4
NY Strip Steaks
-
1 tablespoon
Olive Oil
-
1 tablespoon
Ghee or Butter
-
Kosher Salt and Pepper
- Whisky Spiked Onions
-
2-3
2 Vidallia onions (not white or yellow will not taste the same)
-
2 splashes
Whisky, I prefer Basil Hayden
-
2 tablespoons
Grade A or B Maple Syrup - the real stuff not log cabin
-
1 tablespoon
Coconut Oil
-
Kosher Salt and Pepper
Directions
- Steak
-
Steak should never be cooked COLD, take it out of the fridge and let it sit out for an hour or 1/2hr liberally salt and pepper it like coat that shiz.
-
Use a cast iron or heavy bottom pan. Heat it up until its insanely HOTTTTT
-
Add olive oil & butter (I prefer Ghee)
-
Lay down the steaks - cook for 6mins on each side then 2-3 mins on each side.
-
I also turn them on their sides to brown the fat - mmmm fat.
- Whisky Spiked Onions
-
I usually start these 2hrs before everything else, the longer they cook the tastier they become.
-
Slice the onions on a mandolin or something equivalent to slice then super thin.
-
Heat 1 tsbp of coconut oil in the pan and add onions
-
Let them cook on medium high heat until they are a bit translucent.
-
Add Salt and Pepper turn the heat to medium let them go.. bye bye forget about me, maybe put a lid on them leaving a lil space for air to get in.
-
Once they are starting to cook down a lot turn the heat back up and add whisky let that cook off then add the maple syrup and bring it down to a simmer and forget about it until it's time to eat. Yum.
