Dinner
Ingredients
Steak
- 2 NY strip steaks (room temp)
- Salt (amount not given)
- Pepper (amount not given)
- Kinder steak seasoning blend (amount not given)
- 1 clove garlic, crushed (for basting)
- Butter for basting (see note: caption lists 2 tbsp + 1 tbsp butter for separate uses without saying which is which)
Garlic Parmesan Orzo
- Butter for sautéing (see note)
- 1 shallot, minced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb (454 g) orzo
- 2 1/2 cups (600 ml) chicken broth (plus extra if needed)
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
- 1/2 cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to adjust (amount not given)
- Parsley (optional; amount not given)
Butter total per caption: 2 tbsp (28 g) butter + 1 tbsp (14 g) butter (separate use).
Method
- Season steaks with salt, pepper, and steak seasoning. Sear in a hot skillet 4 minutes per side. In the last 2 minutes, add butter + crushed garlic and baste. Remove and let rest (keep all juices).
- In the same pan, melt butter and sauté shallot + garlic for about 2 minutes. Add orzo and toast for 1 minute.
- Pour in chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer about 10 minutes, stirring halfway. Add more broth if needed.
- Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan until creamy and smooth. Adjust salt and pepper.
- Slice steak and return it with all juices back into the pan. Top with parsley and serve.
Notes
- Butter split is not specified: the caption lists "2 tbsp (28 g) butter + 1 tbsp (14 g) butter (separate use)" but doesn't say which amount is for basting the steak vs. sautéing the shallot/garlic. (Inferred, not stated: likely 1 tbsp to baste and 2 tbsp for the orzo.)
- Amounts not given for salt, pepper, Kinder steak seasoning, and parsley.
- Steak doneness is not stated; 4 min per side is the creator's timing (thickness not given).
- Skillet heat for simmering is "reduce heat"; no exact level given.
- Servings and total time are not stated.
- Creator tip: keep all the steak resting juices and return them to the pan.
- Caption also promotes the creator's "Osta Recipes" app (not part of the recipe).
