Preheat a smoker or indirect grill to 250F. Add a dutch oven or skillet w/lid to the smoker to preheat for 5 minutes.

Add all the butter, garlic bulbs, rosemary and sage to the dutch oven and let melt (about 5 minutes). Next, add the plain NY Strips to the butter bath, cover and cook until they are 120F internal (about 30 minutes). Once the steaks are done & have hit temperature, pull them off and let them rest for 10 minutes.

While the steaks rest, build a high heat fire (around 400F) for searing on a skillet/plancha.

Pat the steaks dry from any excess butter and season on all sides with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Add the steaks to the skillet to sear for 1-1.5 minutes per side until they are crispy. Pull the steaks off once done. In a bowl, mix together the flakey salt & lemon zest. Slice your steaks and garnish with lemon salt, fried onion crisps and chopped garlic. Serve and enjoy!
