Crosshatched New York Strip with Blistered Tomatoes
Crisp diamond grill marks frame a strip steak that stays tender and beefy under a fragrant rosemary baste. Grilled tomato halves turn jammy on the grate, and a small pitcher of peppery pan sauce waits alongside a pile of lightly dressed greens.
Test kitchen note: For clean crosshatch marks, leave the steak untouched for two full minutes, then rotate it 45 degrees before flipping. Resist the urge to move it early.
Method 6 steps
-
Season the steaks with salt and rub them with 1 tablespoon of oil. Brush the cut sides of the tomatoes with a little oil and salt.
-
Grill the steaks over high heat for 2 minutes, rotate them 45 degrees for another 2 minutes, then flip and repeat. Cook to 130F in the center for medium-rare.
-
Place the tomatoes cut side down at the edge of the grill for about 5 minutes until blistered and soft.
-
Meanwhile melt the butter in a small pan with the garlic and 2 rosemary sprigs. Brush some over the resting steaks, then add the stock and pepper to the pan and simmer for 3 minutes to make a quick sauce.
-
Toss the greens with the lemon juice, the last of the oil and a pinch of salt.
-
Set each steak on a board with the greens and tomatoes, lay a rosemary sprig on top and pour the sauce into a small pitcher for the table.
That is the whole pie. Enjoy every slice.
