Valentine’s Days Recipe #5: Black Pepper Strip Steak

Reverse Sear Strip Steak with Lemon Dill Crab Sauce Recipe

These delicious steaks require few ingredients.  Just make sure to use freshly cracked pepper and these steaks will surely delight both you and your guests.

These steaks were 1 1/2 inches thick before they were cooked, so cooking them at 115 degrees F and then doing a 3 minute sear on each side, brought the steaks to around 135 degrees for a medium rare which is how I like them. If you want a medium steak, just cook to about 120 degrees before searing them. The searing should bring them up to around 135 -140 degrees for a medium steak.
