Special Notes

This classic Delmonico steak recipe showcases the rich flavor of this premium cut. The key is to cook the steaks over high heat to create a beautiful crust. The butter basting adds extra richness and flavor. For the best results, use a meat thermometer to check doneness. The steaks should rest before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute. This dish pairs perfectly with roasted vegetables and a full-bodied red wine.
