Authentic Delmonico Steak Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 (12 oz) Delmonico steaks, at room temperature
• 2 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Directions:

1. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
3. Season the steaks generously on both sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
4. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add the olive oil and wait until it begins to smoke.
5. Add the steaks to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until a crust forms.
6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook the steaks for 6-8 minutes for medium-rare, or until they reach an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C).
7. Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the steaks to a plate. Cover with foil and let them rest for 10 minutes.
8. While the steaks are resting, return the skillet to the stovetop over medium heat. Add the butter and garlic and stir until the butter is melted.
9. Once the butter is melted, add the chopped parsley and continue to stir for another minute.
10. Slice the steaks against the grain, and spoon the garlic butter sauce over the top of the steaks.
11. Serve the Delmonico steaks with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.

Tips:

• Delmonico steaks can be quite thick, so it’s important to let them rest after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
• If you prefer your steak more well-done, you can cook it for an additional 2-3 minutes in the oven.
• To add even more flavor to the steak, try marinating it for a few hours before cooking. A marinade made with olive oil, red wine, garlic, and herbs is a classic choice for Delmonico steaks.
• Delmonico steaks can also be cooked on a grill. Simply preheat the grill to high heat and grill the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
• Delmonico steaks are best served medium-rare for maximum tenderness and flavor.
