Gordon Ramsay N.Y. Strip Steak, Fingerling Potatoes, and Mushrooms

Michelin star chef Gordon Ramsay first coats his steaks with a seasoning of salt and pepper on both sides before cooking; that goes without saying. But this Gordon Ramsay steak recipe uses a special Gordon Ramsay steak seasoning rub, BBQ sauce, and cognac to flambés the steak. How does Gordon Ramsay like his steak cooked?

Gordon prefers his steaks on the rare side, and the steak is typically at 130-134°F. After seasoning the steak with salt and pepper on both sides, he adds a splash of oil and then quickly sears the steak in an iron skillet to give the outside a nice texture and color. 

Plenty of myths are circulating about the best way to cook a steak. Don’t use a fork to flip your steak. Only salt and pepper your steak after it’s completed cooking. Always purchase the highest-quality steak you can afford for pan-searing, and in my opinion, it is either a boneless N.Y. strip or a giant and juicy rib-eye.

Equipment You Need To Make Gordon Ramsay N.Y. Strip Steak

• Skillet – Use the skillet to sear the steaks; this gives them a slightly charred flavor. Use a heat-proof skillet to place it in the oven directly.
• Cooking Thermometer – The cooking thermometer comes in handy when checking the internal temperature of the meat. It is a sure-shot way to know if it has cooked properly.

Gordon Ramsay’s Top 15 Kitchen Essentials

My favorite pan to cook an N.Y. strip steak is a 12-inch cast iron skillet from the lodge; they come preseason as a grill pan or not. 

I’ve used and recommend both cookware sets, the ScanPan 10-Piece Cookware Set and the HexClad 7-Piece Hybrid; both are well-made pans with a solid, heavy bottom, heat fast, and they get the job done. Visit the ScanPan or HexClad on Amazon.
