Ingredients

4 New York Strip Steaks 1-inch thick, fat trimmed
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
6 tablespoons barbecue sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1 & 1/2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

Blot steaks dry with a paper towel and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire, and hot sauce. Drop in the butter; set aside.
Add oil to a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat; swirl to coat. When it just begins to smoke, add steaks.
Sear steaks (in batches, depending on how they fit), for 5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 4 minutes (for medium and an internal temperature of 140°F)
Transfer to a plate; cover loosely with foil. (Steaks will continue to cook slightly as they rest.)
Pour broth mixture into the skillet and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet, until liquid has thickened slightly and reduced to about 1 & 1/4 cups, 5 minutes or so. Add any accumulated meat juices from the plate; stir to combine. Remove from the heat.
Serve steaks (whole or cut across the grain into thin slices) with the sauce and your favorite green vegetable. Swoon!
