ny strip steak with salsa verde

Ingredients for Verde Sauce:

  • 5-6 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 cup, packed, fresh flat leaf parsley
  • 2 tbsp capers
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil (or mint)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon zest
  • 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • optional 4 anchovies

Directions:

Add garlic, parsley, capers, basil, and lemon zest in a food processor and slowly add olive oil until blended.  Season with salt and pepper.

Unpackaged steaks and pat with paper towels, let them rest on the counter until just slightly cool.  Season both sides with salt and pepper.  In a pre-heated cast iron skillet, oil with canola or grapeseed oil and sear steaks, 3-7 minutes on each side until desired “done-ness”.

Let steaks rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing.  Garnish with verde sauce.  Pair with roasted vegetables or potatoes.
