Steak in a Cast Iron Pan

INGREDIENTS

1 or 2 8oz. New York strip steaks or equivalent

Touch of olive oil

2-3 tablespoons Smoked Maple Syrup

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Heat a cast iron pan on “high” over the stovetop with just a touch of oil to prevent initial sticking of the steak.
2. Sear both sides of the steaks for one minute then reduce heat to low/medium.
3. As the steaks begin to release moisture and juices, add the smoked maple syrup.
4. Simmer for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, flipping once, and serve.

You'll want a loaf of crusty bread to complement the meat and sop up the drippings.
