About this recipe
It’s steak season, and this recipe from Harmons’ chef Jake Driffil is a crowd pleaser whether you make it on the stove or the grill.
New York strip steak comes from the short loin of the cow, Driffil explained, and only takes about eight minutes total to cook.
“It’s a little bit more beefy than a rib-eye or tenderloin,” he said. “It’s also going to have that nice chew to it, so you’re going to have a nice bite of steak.”

This recipe calls for rubbing the steak with beef tallow before searing in a cast-iron pan and basting with butter. “Fat equals flavor,” Driffil said.
Steak pairs beautifully with chimichurri, a South American sauce made from cilantro, parsley and garlic. Red wine vinegar gets rid of the sharpness of garlic, resulting in a more savory garlic flavor, Driffil said.
