Trust me, it’s a showstopper that’s easier to make than you might think!
Ingredients

– 2 tbsp olive oil (or any high-smoke-point oil)
– 1 tsp kosher salt (adjust based on preference)
– 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground

Instructions

7. Tip: For thicker steaks, reduce heat to medium after flipping to avoid burning.
8. While the steaks cook, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and thyme in a small bowl until well combined.
9. Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the steaks to a cutting board; let them rest for 5 minutes to redistribute juices.
10. Tip: Tent the steaks loosely with foil during resting to keep them warm.
11. Slice the steaks against the grain for maximum tenderness.

Rosemary and Lemon Marinated Delmonico Steak
Perfectly marinated steak has become my go-to for weekend dinners, especially when I want something impressive but straightforward. I discovered this rosemary and lemon combination during a summer barbecue last year, and it’s been a staple ever since—it’s bright, herby, and always a crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients
– 2 Delmonico steaks (about 1 inch thick each), or substitute with ribeye for similar richness
– 1/4 cup olive oil, or any neutral oil like avocado oil
– 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, from about 1 lemon
– 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, or 1 tsp dried rosemary if fresh isn’t available
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tsp kosher salt, adjust to taste based on preference
– 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground for best flavor
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp kosher salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until well combined.
2. Place the 2 Delmonico steaks in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over them, ensuring both sides are fully coated.
3. Cover the dish or seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor infusion—marinating longer can make the meat mushy, so avoid overdoing it.
4. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking to ensure even cooking.
5. Preheat a grill or skillet to medium-high heat, around 400°F, and lightly oil the cooking surface to prevent sticking.

7. Flip the steaks using tongs and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes on the second side for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F on an instant-read thermometer.
8. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute—skipping this step can result in dry meat.
9. Slice the steaks against the grain into 1/2-inch thick pieces for serving.
So tender and bursting with zesty, herbal notes, this steak pairs wonderfully with a simple arugula salad or roasted vegetables. I love how the rosemary infuses every bite, making it feel like a gourmet meal without the fuss—perfect for a cozy night in or impressing guests.
Sous Vide Delmonico Steak with Red Wine Reduction
Unbelievably tender and bursting with flavor, this sous vide Delmonico steak has become my go-to dinner party showstopper. I first tried this method after receiving a sous vide wand for my birthday, and it completely transformed how I cook steak—no more guessing doneness or dealing with uneven cooking. Now I can focus on perfecting that rich red wine reduction while the steak cooks itself to perfection.
Ingredients
– 2 (12 oz) Delmonico steaks, 1.5 inches thick (bring to room temperature for even cooking)
– 2 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil for higher smoke point)

9. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking hot, about 3-4 minutes.
10. Sear steaks for 45 seconds per side without moving to develop a deep brown crust.
11. Tip: Press gently with tongs to ensure even contact with the hot surface.
12. Remove steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes while making the sauce.
13. Pour off excess fat from skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon for flavor.
14. Add red wine to hot skillet, scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon.
15. Simmer wine until reduced by half, about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
16. Add beef stock and continue simmering until sauce coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.
17. Tip: Strain reduction through a fine mesh sieve for a smoother sauce if desired.
18. Slice rested steaks against the grain into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
19. Arrange slices on plates and drizzle with warm red wine reduction.
Last night’s dinner proved why this method reigns supreme—the steak emerged with a crust that crackled audibly while giving way to buttery-soft interior.

For a restaurant-worthy twist, serve over creamy mashed potatoes that catch every drop of that glorious sauce.
