JA x A Cook Named Matt | Steak

Using a minimal amount of cooking tools and time, you can re-create Matt Broussard’s awesome New York Steak Strip recipe that he was kind enough to share exclusively with us! Follow the easy steps below (and trust me, if I can do this recipe, so can you! You’ll feel like a total steak wizard afterward)

• Reminder! Don’t forget to make sure your cooking area is squeaky-clean before starting. And always wash your hands first!
• Step 1: Season your meat with salt. (Make it rain!)
• Step 2: Warm your pan on low.
• Step 3: Sear the sides of your steak while cranking up the heat (instead of adding oil, the meat will cook in its own oil).
• Step 4: Put the steak flat down. (Matt’s Tip: Very carefully use the palm of your hand to press down on the steak for a nice sear. Be careful not to touch the pan to avoid burns.)
• Jess’s Tip! To quickly clean hands between steps (especially when handling raw meat), use the Honest Sanitizing Alcohol Wipes. Made with 65% ethyl alcohol and a touch of aloe, they’re the perfect, quick way to kill 99.9% of germs and clean sticky hands on the spot (without drying out your skin).
• Step 5: Cook 1 ½-inch steak for 5−7 minutes on each side for desired doneness.
• Step 6: Transfer the oil from your pan to a separate pot and save for later.
• Step 7: Let the meat rest on the pan and toss some butter in there.
• Step 8: Flavor the butter by adding garlic and thyme to your pan.
• Step 9: Baste the steak with the flavorful melted butter. MMM!
• Step 10: Remove pan from heat to cool and let the meat rest for 5−6 minutes.
• Step 11: Transfer meat from your pan to a cutting board and slice. (Matt’s Tip: Save leftovers in the pan to make a sauce!)
• OPTIONAL: As a cute way to serve the meal to your guests, place the sliced meat back into the pan for an aesthetic look. Always be careful when handling hot cookware.
• Step 12: Season with salt to finish!

BON APPETIT!

Now’s my favorite part: Time to serve! In just a few steps, we’ve created a beautiful, sizzling, delicious steak you + your guests will be raving about all evening.

When I’m done cookin’ up my masterpiece, I like to wipe down all the surfaces where the raw meat might have been, where oil might have splashed, or just where I may have made a mess in general during the whole process! That’s where our Honest Disinfecting Spray comes in. This powerful 3-in-1 antibacterial disinfecting spray cleans, deodorizes, AND disinfects all in one step. It’s made without any harsh chemicals and chlorine bleach yet is strong enough to kill 99.9% of germs (plus cold + flu viruses and bacteria!). It’s like magic in a bottle. Just a few spritzes on my non-porous surfaces, let it do its thing for 10 minutes, then swipe⎯it breaks down grease + grime right before your very eyes. The secret? It’s in the surfactants that are tough on germs yet gentle on your home, leaving you with a clean environment that everyone can appreciate (and giving you peace of mind).

I hope you enjoyed getting crafty (and clean) in the kitchen with Matt and me! And yes, it’s possible for us to master an incredible meal AND keep the kitchen consciously clean. I’m so glad that Honest makes it easy for multitasking parents like me and you! Share pics of your completed dish and tag us so we can see the amazing work you’ve done in your happy Honest home! Cheers.
