Sizzle and Savor: Cooking New York Strip Steak and Vegetables on the Blackstone

Cooking a perfect New York strip steak on the Blackstone griddle is a rewarding experience that combines simplicity with bold flavors. When paired with vibrant red and yellow peppers and broccoli, this meal becomes a colorful, satisfying feast. This guide walks you through a straightforward recipe using kosher salt, Kinders bourbon steak seasoning, and buttery garlic herb to bring out the best in each ingredient.

Preparing the Steak for Maximum Flavor

Start by tenderizing your New York strip steak with kosher salt. Sprinkle a generous amount on both sides and let it rest for about an hour. This process helps break down the muscle fibers, enhancing tenderness and drawing out moisture for a better sear.

After the resting period, lightly oil the steaks on all sides. Then, season them thoroughly with Kinders seasoning. This seasoning adds a rich, smoky depth that complements the natural beef flavor without overpowering it.

Cooking the Steak on the Blackstone Griddle

Heat your Blackstone griddle on high. Once hot, oil the surface lightly to prevent sticking. Place the steaks on the griddle and cook for 5 to 7 minutes on each side. The exact time depends on your preferred doneness:

• Rare: About 5 minutes per side

• Medium: Around 6 minutes per side

• Well-done: Closer to 7 minutes per side

  
  

Use tongs to flip the steak only once to maintain a good crust. Avoid pressing down on the meat, as this squeezes out juices and dries the steak.

Adding Butter and Cooking the Vegetables

After flipping the steak, add two tablespoons of butter directly to the griddle. Add the sliced red and yellow peppers on top of the butter. Season the peppers with the Kinders buttery garlic herb and stir gently to coat them evenly.

Once the peppers start to soften, add another two tablespoons of butter and toss in the broccoli. Sauté the broccoli for a few minutes until it begins to turn bright green and tender-crisp.

Steaming for Perfect Texture

To finish, mix the broccoli and peppers together on the griddle. Spray a small amount of water over the vegetables and cover them with a lid or foil. Let them steam for 5 to 7 minutes. This step locks in moisture and flavors while keeping the vegetables crisp and vibrant.

Serving Suggestions and Tips

Serve the New York strip steak alongside the sautéed peppers, broccoli and mashed potatoes for a balanced, flavorful meal. Here are some tips to enhance your cooking experience:

• Use a meat thermometer to check steak doneness if unsure. Aim for 130°F for medium-rare and 140°F for medium.

• Rest the steak for 5 minutes after cooking to allow juices to redistribute.

• Experiment with seasoning by adding fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the butter for extra aroma.

• Keep the griddle hot but avoid burning the butter by adjusting heat as needed.

  
  

This recipe works well for outdoor gatherings or a special weeknight dinner. The Blackstone griddle’s large surface lets you cook everything in one place, saving time and cleanup.
