Ingredients
Two 1 1/2-inch-thick New York strip steaks
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper
Directions
Special equipment:
a pizza oven- Preheat the pizza oven for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, rub the steaks all over with 1 tablespoon of the butter each, then season generously with salt and pepper.
- Put a medium cast-iron skillet in the pizza oven and let it heat for 5 minutes. Place the steaks in the skillet, return the skillet to the oven and cook until there is a dark brown crust on the bottom of the steaks, 2 to 5 minutes. Flip the steaks and cook until the other side develops a dark brown crust, 2 to 5 minutes more.
- Transfer the steaks to a cutting board with tongs, reserving the skillet. Holding the steaks in place with the tongs, cut 1/2-inch-thick slices crosswise. Transfer the steaks back to the skillet, pushing the slices together so they all touch. Spread 2 tablespoons of the butter on top of each steak and return to the oven.
- Cook to your desired temperature, basting with the melted butter halfway through. For reference, medium rare was about 2 minutes more for us, but it may vary based on your oven's temperature.
