Pan Fried Bone in NY Strip Steaks

The weather around here has been funky, funky, funky to say the least and last night was no exception!  Windy, rainy, cold.....there was no way I was grilling the steaks out in that mess.  So the 2 steaks that were planned on being grilled were going to now be cooked inside in the cast iron skillet.

Started off by throwing 3 baking potatoes in the oven, while they were cooking I put the steaks on the counter to warm up to room temp.

Seasoned with Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper.

Then into a HOT cast iron skillet with a little vegetable oil.

While the steaks are cooking, I started caramelizing a little leftover red onion we had in the fridge, along with a whole medium yellow onion in a little olive oil.

And added in some mushrooms once the onions were almost done.

Flipped the steaks after 5 minutes and continued to cook for another 5 minutes, 10 minutes total cook time for medium rare.

Steaks are done

Dinner is served!
