Let’s be honest, cooking steak can be a bit intimidating if you’re not used to it. Is it too dry? Not dry enough? Overcooked? Under-cooked? Everyone has a preference and it can be hard to get it “just right” and also avoid food poisoning in the process! But once you get the hang of it, cooking a steak really isn’t that tough at all (unless it’s very overcooked… see what I did there?!).

New York strip is a delicious steak cut that’s even more flavorsome when marinated. This New York strip steak with fried garlic mushrooms recipe is gluten-free, keto friendly, paleo, and low carb too. Not everyone is a mushroom fan, but this really is an awesome option for when you want to try something different in the kitchen. It’s super quick to make and can be served with a vast variety of side dishes, not to mention a nice red wine!

How to Cook New York Strip Steak

Place the lemon juice and the olive oil in a shallow container large enough to hold the strip steaks in a single layer.
Place the strip steaks into the oil, then turn to coat both sides in the oil and lemon juice mixture. Salt and pepper if desired.
Rub the minced garlic over the steaks, then sprinkle the rosemary all over the steaks as well (I like a lot of rosemary, so how much is up to you!).
Let the steaks stand at room temperature in the container for 30 minutes.
To cook the steak, remove the steaks from the marinade and place on a clean plate, making sure to discard the marinade.
Heat your BBQ or grill to high temp, oiling the grill or grates on your barbecue if they tend to stick – you don’t want these to stick!
Place the steaks on the grill and cook the steaks until a meat thermometer inserted in thickest portion registers your desired degree of doneness, See my notes in the post above for the beef cooking temperatures and doneness.
Place the steaks onto a cutting board and then tent the steaks loosely with foil. Let stand for 5 minutes. Remove the foil and cut steaks across the grain into slices.
Arrange the steak slices on a platter.

Fried Garlic Mushrooms

To prepare the mushrooms, start them 10 minutes before you start the strip steak. I then leave them with the lid on to stay warm while the steak finishes.
Place the butter in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add in the mushrooms and fry for 10-15 minutes, or until they have reduced in size and released most of their water content.
Add in the garlic when the mushrooms are done and fry for 2-3 minutes. To keep warm, simply cover and keep on the burner (turn the burner off and let the residual heat keep them warm).

What is New York Strip Steak?

This is one of the most popular high-end steaks around. New York Strip Steak (also known as a Kansas City strip) comes from the longissimus dorsi muscle which is a very tender muscle that runs from the hip bone right up to the shoulder blade. This is actually the main muscle in a rib-eye steak too, and it doesn’t do much work so it’s pretty tender.

Strip steaks usually don’t have a lot of fat or connective tissue but they have a lot of marbling/intramuscular fat which adds moisture and flavor to the steak. When it comes to high-end steaks, how much “marbling” is present is generally indicative of its quality. A lot of marbling means a higher grade steak and this is what ranks the New York strip steak up top with other expensive beef cuts.

Here are the proper steak cooking temperatures for those who aren’t aware. It’s best to use a digital thermometer when measuring the temperatures for accuracy.
