Peter Luger Style Steak: A Delicious Homemade Recipe

Are you craving a juicy, flavorful steak that rivals the famous Peter Luger’s Steakhouse in New York City? Look no further! This Peter Luger Style Steak recipe will guide you in creating a mouthwatering steak, brined to perfection, coated in a delectable garlic butter, and cooked until tender and juicy.

Brine the Steak

To achieve a great steak, start by generously seasoning your steak with coarse sea salt. Whether you prefer a ribeye, T-bone, or filet mignon, this recipe allows you to customize your Peter Luger Style Steak to your liking. Let the salted steak sit in the fridge, allowing it to dry brine overnight for the best flavor. If you’re pressed for time, a minimum of 40 minutes will still enhance the taste.

Garlic Butter for Your Peter Luger Style Steak

Now, let’s prepare the garlic butter that will take your steak to the next level. In a bowl, combine melted butter, garlic paste, Worcestershire sauce, and kosher salt. This simple yet flavorful mixture will elevate your steak to new heights.

Let’s Cook a Peter Luger Style Steak

With your steak and garlic butter ready, it’s time to cook! Preheat your pizza oven, broiler, or salamander grill to a scorching 850ºF for direct cooking. The high heat will give your Peter Luger Style Steak that irresistible crust. Remove the brined steaks from the fridge and let them come to room temperature for approximately 15 minutes. This step ensures even cooking.

Next, place the steaks on a wire baking sheet and slide them into the preheated oven. Cook for 2 minutes, rotating the steaks after 1 minute for an evenly cooked crust. Flip the steaks over and cook for another 2 minutes to achieve a beautiful crust all over.

Slice and Continue Cooking

Now that your steak has a crispy crust, it’s time to slice and finish cooking. Remove the steaks from the oven and cut them into finger-sized pieces. Arrange the slices closely together in a cast-iron skillet, high heat ceramic serving dish, or fajita skillet, ensuring no red meat is showing.

Drizzle your prepared garlic butter over the Peter Luger Style Steak, ensuring every slice is coated with flavor. Place the skillet back into the oven and cook to your desired doneness. Remember, the high heat means the steak will cook quickly.

Time Table for Your Perfect Peter Luger Style Steak

The final cooking time varies depending on your preferred doneness. Here’s a rough estimate to guide you:

  • Rare: 45 seconds to 1.5 minutes
  • Medium Rare: 1.5-2 minutes
  • Medium: 2-2.5 minutes
  • Medium Well: 2.5-3 minutes
  • Well Done: 3+ minutes

These times are approximate but will help you achieve the desired doneness of your Peter Luger Style Steak. Once cooked, remove the steak from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Garnish with chopped parsley for added freshness and dig into your tantalizing creation!
