The company sent us a package of their Prime New York Strip Steaks to try out for all of you. Before I get to our thoughts on these steaks, I wanted to share a few steak cooking tips with all of you.

1. Always select the best cut steaks that you can personally afford. A better cut of meat will always taste better than a cheap cut.

2. You should always cook your steaks from their “thawed” state and you should always thaw meat in the refrigerator, never at room temperature!

3. Use lemon juice or olive oil at a meat tenderizer.

4. Let your steaks sit on the counter for 15 minutes to “rest” before starting the cooking process. Do not let them sit out in extreme heat.

5. Remove them from the heat 2-3 minutes before they are done cooking and let them sit in the pan. They will finish cooking in the pan and reabsorb some of their juices, making for a more flavorful and juicier steak!

6. Typical Steak Cooking Times (grill or broil): For rare cook 6 minutes for medium cook 8 minutes and for well done cook 10 minutes, turning once during the cooking process. These times will vary depending on the cut and thickness of the meat.

Our Thoughts: Sunrise Specialty Foods sent us a package of their Prime New York Strip Steaks. We are BIG steak eaters here in our home and enjoy steaks at least once a week. When we purchase them, we are very picky about the ones we select. We like the best cuts of meat, we like them super thick and lean with very little to no fat on them.

Making a juicy steak is a very easy process. We like to brush extra-virgin olive oil onto both sides of our steaks and then season them with McCormick’s steak seasoning. We let them sit in the pan at room temperature for about 15 minutes and then grill or broil them to perfection. We broiled ours this time until they were medium to well-done.

These steaks were absolutely delicious! They were moist, tender and very flavorful. They were so tender that I only had to use a butter knife to cut mine up. These were some of the best steaks we have ever had and highly recommend them to all of you.
