    Cooking a New York strip steak at home is pretty easy and it's a lot cheaper than ordering one at a fancy restaurant. The two most important things when cooking a steak is the oven or grill temperature and cooking time for the steak.

    We didn't eat steak at our house very often.  I cooked my first steak under the broiler in my kitchen when I was 17. 

    I had to ask my mom how to cook the steak and she told me to broil it. It turned out great. My boyfriend was happy, I was proud, and I've been hooked on cooking steak at home ever since.

    It's cheaper to buy a steak in the grocery store and cook it yourself. Plus, you can cook it to your liking. Nothing is more frustrating than ordering a steak out and the steak comes from the kitchen too rare or too done. When you pay a high price for something you would like it done right.

    I don't eat beef a lot but when I do I prefer very lean ground beef, prime rib roast, flank steak, or New York strip steak. (If I eat steak in a restaurant, I prefer the Porterhouse Steak because it's generally super juicy and it's big, so I can take some home.)

    How to Cook A New York Strip Steak - Time and Temperature is improtant

    You can broil a steak in your oven on the broiler pan with your broiler on high 8 inches (or so) from the coils for about 5 minutes a side depending on the thickness of your steak.

    Another choice is to grill it on a George Foreman Indoor Grill for a total of about 5-6 minutes. Or cook it on your outdoor grill. We have a Char-Broil Gas Grill and it gets hot quickly and cooks evenly. That's the way we usually cook it.

    The indoor grill takes about half the time to cook as it does outdoors because you cook both sides at the same time. Each grill cooks a little differently, so your cooking time may be a little longer or shorter than ours. And of course cooking time also depends on the thickness of your steak.

    Until you know how quickly your grill cooks, you can check the doneness by cutting into the steak periodically (but not too often as you don't want all the juices to flow out).

    I prefer my steak with a hefty amount of pepper and just a bit of salt. And I like it cooked to "medium rare" (warm center, just a bit of blood).

    You will need one of the following: the broiler (and broiler pan) in your oven, an indoor grill, or an outdoor grill. You'll also need tongs to turn the steak over and serve it. 

    New York Strip Steak Cooked On An Indoor Grill

    Ingredients

    • 1 6-8 ounce New York Strip Steak
    • salt and pepper to taste

    Instructions

    • Heat the grill (we use a George Foreman indoor grill) to very hot, about 5 minutes
    • Place the steak on the grill grate and close the lid.
    • Cook for 4-7 minutes a side. Likely, 4 minutes a side will be rare and 7 will be well done. The cooking time will definitely depend on the thickness of your steak. I like mine cooked 4-5 minutes a side for a medium-rare steak.
    • Let the steak rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat more tender and juicy.
    • Always cut the meat against the grain (the direction of the muscle fibers). This makes the steak more tender and easier to chew.
