Elevate Your Steak Night: NY Strip with a Gourmet Twist

Steak night is a revered tradition in many households, a time to indulge in the rich flavors of perfectly cooked beef. But why settle for the ordinary when you can elevate your steak to extraordinary? Our recipe for NY Strip Marinated with Cold Smoked Agrumato Infused Olive Oil and Italian Espresso Dark Balsamic offers a gourmet twist that will transform your dining experience into a culinary adventure.

The Perfect Fusion of Flavors

This recipe starts with premium NY strip steaks, known for their rich marbling and robust flavor. The magic, however, lies in the marinade—a luxurious blend of Bodacious Cold Smoked Agrumato Infused Olive Oil and Bodacious Italian Espresso Dark Balsamic. This combination not only tenderizes the steak but also infuses it with a complex flavor profile characterized by smoky nuances and deep, espresso-infused undertones.

Marinade Mastery

The process begins by generously seasoning the steaks with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. These seasoned steaks are then placed in a marinade of smoked olive oil, espresso balsamic, thinly sliced shallots, and a choice of thyme or rosemary. This marinade does more than flavor the meat; it introduces an array of aromatic elements that penetrate deep into the steak, ensuring that every bite is infused with taste.

Cooking to Perfection

After marinating, the steaks are carefully seared in a hot cast-iron skillet to achieve a beautifully caramelized crust that locks in juices and flavors. This quick searing method highlights the smoky and espresso notes of the marinade, creating a crust that contrasts deliciously with the tender, medium-rare interior.

Ingredients

  

• 4 2″ thick steaks: use either strip, porterhouse, t-bone or tenderloin steaks weighing about 8 oz. each
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 4 g sprigs thyme or rosemary
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 shallots, thinly sliced
• 3 tbsp Bodacious Cold Smoked Agrumato Infused Olive Oil
• 3 tbsp Bodacious Italian Espresso Dark Balsamic

Instructions

 

• Generously season the steaks with salt and pepper. Place 2 tablespoons of Cold Smoked Agrumato Infused Olive Oil, 3 tablespoons Italian Espresso Dark Balsamichallots, rosemary, and garlic if using into re-sealable or vacuum-sealing bags. Place the steaks in a one large or two medium zipper lock or vacuum seal bags and seal. After 2 hours, remove the bag from the water bath and remove the steaks from the bags, and dry well with paper towels. Heat a large cast iron skillet or grill pan over high heat. Rub the dried steaks with the remaining tablespoon of smoked olive oil. Add the steaks to the hot pan and sear until well-browned, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve.

Serving Suggestions

Once rested, the steaks are ready to serve, needing no more than a simple side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad to complete the meal. The robust flavors of the marinade pair beautifully with a glass of bold red wine, turning dinner into a celebration.

Why This Recipe Stands Out

• Flavor Depth: The cold smoked olive oil and espresso balsamic elevate the natural flavors of the steak with smoky and rich coffee notes.
• Texture Contrast: The searing technique ensures a crusty exterior with a succulent, tender interior.
• Visual Appeal: The final dish is not only delicious but also visually appealing, making it perfect for special occasions or a romantic evening at home.
