NY Strip Steak With Bearnaise Sauce
Marinade
2 tablespoons of olive oil
3 tablespoons of soy sauce
1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar
½ teaspoon of brown sugar
2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon of whole black peppercorns or ¼ teaspoon of cracked black pepper
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 Strip steaks, trimmed of excess fat
Let the steak stand for about 15 minutes so it comes to room temperature. Add all the ingredients to a glass dish or other non-metal container. Mix well. Add steaks and cover with plastic wrap.
Marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours, flipping them after 12 hours. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator one hour before cooking.
Bearnaise Sauce
Ingredients
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons minced shallots
3 sprigs tarragon, leaves stripped and roughly chopped
2 egg yolks
3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
Directions
Place the white wine vinegar, minced shallot, and half the chopped tarragon in a saucepan. Heat this on a medium-low for 5 minutes, until the shallots are soft and the liquid has reduced by about half. Strain out the solids, replace the concentrated liquid back into the saucepan, and let it cool to room temperature.
Add the egg yolks, water, vegetable oil, and salt into the saucepan with the concentrated vinegar mixture, and heat over a medium-low flame while whisking vigorously. The goal here is to whisk the eggs to a fluffy, custard-like consistency, which should take around 3-5 minutes. Once you see it start to steam, be extra vigilant: if you overcook the sauce, it’ll turn into scrambled eggs. Remove the pan from the heat if needed to better control the temperature.
When the sauce thickens and reaches the desired consistency, add in the butter and the rest of the chopped tarragon, and whisk until the butter dissolves.
The sauce is best served immediately but can hold well for 30 minutes to an hour.
Cooking Directions: Air-Fryer, Grill or Broiler
Air-Fryer
Preheat the air fryer to 400ºF for 5 minutes.
Drain the steak from the marinade.
Place the New York strip steaks in the air fryer basket and cook for 5 minutes on each side or until an instant meat thermometer registers 135ºF for medium rare.
Transfer to a clean cutting board and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain and serve with the Bearnaise Sauce, baked potatoes, and sauteed spinach.
