Ingredients
  

  • Serrano Honey:
  • 1 serrano pepper seeded and sliced
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup honey
  • Avocado Mash:
  • 2 avocados
  • 1 lime zested and juiced
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • For the Steak:
  • 2 New York strip steaks
  • 3 Tbsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp black pepper
  • 3 Tbsp grapeseed oil or any neutral, high-smoke point oil
  • 4 Tbsp softened butter
  • 2 garlic cloves smashed

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Serrano Honey:
  2. Heat a sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add serrano peppers and salt.
  3. Once the serranos are fragrant, add the honey.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until small bubbles form around the serranos.
  5. Cool and store in a jar.
  6. Prepare the Steaks:
  7. Allow the steaks to come to room temperature.
  8. Generously season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper.
  9. Sear the Steaks:
  10. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
  11. Add grapeseed oil to the pan.
  12. Working with 2 steaks at a time, sear each steak for 4-5 minutes per side, until a crust forms.
  13. Flip the steaks and add the softened butter and smashed garlic to the pan.
  14. Tilt the pan slightly and spoon the melted butter over the steaks, basting them as they continue to sear for another 4 minutes (adjust cooking time based on thickness and desired doneness).
  15. Remove the steaks from the pan and pour the pan juices over them. If cooking more than 2 steaks, repeat the searing process.
  16. Let the steaks rest for 10 minutes.
  17. Prepare the Avocado Mash:
  18. Remove the avocado flesh from the skin and discard the seeds.
  19. Lightly mash the avocado with salt, lime zest, lime juice, and minced garlic.
  20. Assemble and Serve:
  21. Slice the rested steaks.
  22. Place the sliced steak over a bed of the lightly mashed avocado.
  23. Drizzle with the serrano honey.
  24. Finish with a small pinch of sea salt for enhanced flavor.
