New York Strip Steak With Flaming Bourbon Butter
The “New York Strip Steak” gets its name by association with Dalmonico’s Restaurant, a famous New York steakhouse, which has been serving this cut of beef since 1827.
It is hard to go wrong with steak for dinner. And one of my favorite cuts is the New York Strip Steak. This piece of meat has a bold and beefy flavor. And since it comes from the short loin of the cow, which is not an overly-used muscle, it tends to be tender, as well. With this simple recipe, I’ll show you how to prepare an impressive looking dinner that is shockingly simple to cook.
Note: Make sure you read the whole recipe before you get started, because we’re going to cook our sides at the same time!

Roasted Garlic
The baking process caramelizes the garlic, leaving it soft, sweet, and savory. Perfect for adding a little extra kick to bites of your tender steak. I always make extra for mixing salad dressing, or smearing on bread for an any-time snack.
INGREDIENTS:
Whole Heads of Garlic
Olive Oil
Salt
DIRECTIONS:
- Pre-heat oven to 400°F
- Cut off the top (stem ends) of the garlic.
- Place the garlic open-side up on a square of foil.
- Drizzle with a bit of olive oil – maybe a teaspoon or just a tad more.
- Sprinkle with a pinch of salt
- Loosely close foil around the garlic to make a closed packet.
- Roast garlic in oven for 45 minutes.
