“A simple steak grilling technique combined with a vibrant sauce gives you a restaurant-quality meal at a fraction of the cost,” says food blogger Kat Ashmore.
“I want to teach home chefs how to make the perfect pan-seared steak, as well as something unique to serve it with, to reshape what the experience of eating steak at home can be,” she adds.
In Ashmore’s recipe that he presents in his new cookbook Big bitesshe prepares a “salty and lively” sauce to reduce the “heaviness” of the red meat.
“The steak has a caramelized crispness on the outside and tender, juicy meat on the inside, which goes really well with the bright, tangy sauce,” says Ashmore.

Pan-fried Kat Ashmore steak with olive and parsley sauce
2 (1 lb.) New York strip steaks, about 1 to 1¼ inches. thick, at room temperature
1 tablespoon neutral oil (such as canola)
1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
2¼ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
⅓ cup pitted green olives (such as Castelvetrano), thinly sliced
¼ cup chopped fresh flat parsley
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
1 clove of garlic, grated
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
1. Rub the steaks with canola oil, black pepper and 2 teaspoons of salt.
2. Combine olives, parsley, Worcestershire, vinegar, olive oil, garlic, coriander, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt in a small bowl.
3. Heat a large cast iron skillet on high for about 5 minutes. If there are fatty scallops on the edge of the steak, fry it for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown. Then cook one side until deeply caramelized, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip the steak and continue cooking until a thermometer registers 130° to 135° for medium, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board; cover with foil and let rest for 10 minutes before cutting crosswise.
4. Pour any juices from the steak into the bowl with the olive vinaigrette and mix. Pour the vinaigrette over the sliced steaks and serve.
