Serves 4

2 New York strip steaks (10–12 oz each)
Olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, lightly smashed
2–3 sprigs fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)

Roasted Marble Potatoes

1-1 ½ pounds marble potatoes
Olive oil
Salt and pepper

Gremolata

1 bunch fresh parsley
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped or grated (use roasted garlic for a milder version)
Zest of 2 lemons
Juice of ½ lemon
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
2–4 tablespoons olive oil

Huckleberry Glaze

2 cups of frozen huckleberries (substitute blueberries if needed)

½ tablespoon salt
2 cups of beef stock (Substitute for vegetable stock for vegetarian)
½ cup balsamic vinegar
1¼ cup red wine

Method

Pan-Seared Striploin

  • Take the striploin out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Pat dry.
  • Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Heat a heavy bottom skillet over medium-high heat. Add a thin layer of olive oil.
  • Sear steaks for 3–4 minutes per side, until a deep brown crust forms.
  • Lower heat to medium. Add butter, garlic, and herbs.
  • Tilt the pan and spoon the melted butter over the steaks for 1–2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat when internal temp reaches 125°F for medium-rare.
  • Rest steaks for 8–10 minutes.

Roasted Marble Potatoes

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Toss potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Roast for 35–45 minutes, shaking the pan halfway, until golden brown and tender inside.

Gremolata

  • For the parsley, remove thick stems and finely chop the leaves.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the chopped parsley, garlic, and lemon zest.
  • Stir in the lemon juice and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Drizzle in olive oil a little at a time, stirring, until the mixture is lightly coated but still fresh and loose, not oily.
  • Adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, lemon juice, or olive oil as needed.

Huckleberry Glaze

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the huckleberries and sugar.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the fruit releases its juices and the sugar dissolves.
  • Stir in the beef stock, balsamic vinegar, and red wine. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Lower heat and simmer uncovered for 30–45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces by about half and thickens to a syrupy consistency.
  • Taste and adjust salt or acidity if needed. For a smooth sauce, strain or blend or for a rustic style, leave as is.

To Finish

Slice your striploin against the grain or serve whole. Toss the marble potatoes with 3 tablespoons of gremolata. Plate your potatoes, topping with additional gremolata. Top the steak with the huckleberry glaze and serve the rest of the glaze on the side.

Perfectly pan-seared striploin meets crispy marble potatoes, bright gremolata, and a touch of huckleberry sweetness—this Davis Estates Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon pairing knows how to make an entrance.
