Crusty Ny Strips

I saw pictures of a NY strip that looked very crusty. It looked delicious.[p]I am wondering if a coat of corn starch might accomplish that. From what I hear, it makes chicken crispy.[p]Any thoughts will be appreciated.[p]Kyle

Kyle,
the easy way to a crusty ny strip is simply to sear it at very high temps for about 90 seconds per side . .. corn starch isn't going to do anything for you here as that is to help chicken skin crisp up .. with the steak, you aren't dealing with any skin .. .[p]sear at over 700 degrees dome temp for about 90 seconds per side. ..you'll have all the crustiness you'd want. ...

mad max beyond eggdome,
What Max said plus I put a good coating of salt on the meats surface and let it sit 30 minutes or so before searing, seems to form a better crust. -RP

Kyle,
Go look at Baja Tom's post below in Woosday.

Kyle,
This product always produces a nice crust. I use it for both steaks and pork chops
My top three flavors are Hickory Molasses, Original and Roasted Garlic and Peppercorn.[p]I always have this stuff around.

Kyle,
i know of a few guys that coat steaks with mustard and a rub. gives quite the crust. don't flip too early or it'll stick.[p]i do what azrp advocates, though. salt, minimal rub sometimes, and let it sit a half hour or so.[p]salts doesn't dry out meat. but it does bring those water-soluble proteins to the surface, and they crust up nice....

I would suggest a rub for steaks to help create a crust. I like DP's Cowlick and Raising the Steaks. I don't use the Trex method because I'm lazy. I grill at 550/600 to an internal temp of 135. I flip the steaks or chops a few times so they don't burn. Here's a 1&1/2" sirloin grilled direct seasoned with DP's rub Good luck, Tom
