Dating back to the 1820s, Delmonico’s is arguably America’s original steakhouse. Indeed, this NYC-based establishment claims to be the first formal sit-down restaurant in the United States. While nothing could beat visiting this eatery in person, there are ways you could simulate a trip to this legendary steakhouse at home.
The next time you’re cooking a fancy steak dinner at home, be sure to mix an authentic Delmonico cocktail on the side. While you’re at it, please add a dropperful of Tribe CBD oil to the mix. Although we know NYC has had a few issues with CBD edibles, it seems like the Big Apple is finally warming up to the hemp industry.

Since Delmonico’s is best known for its steak, it’s only fitting we share a few cooking tips in this post. For starters, you should always salt your steak at least one hour before cooking. Not only does this seasoning give your steak excellent flavor, it also gives your meat a luxurious, tender texture.
Interestingly, if you forget to season your meat an hour before dinner time, it’s better to put the salt on immediately before placing it in a searing-hot pan. You may think it’d be better to give the salt at least 20 or 30 minutes to seep into the steak; however, this “technique” will mess up the water content of your meat. At least the outer layer of salt will create a nice crust and assist in the searing process.
Also, please be sure to use a cooking oil that has a high smoke point. Instead of extra virgin olive oil, you should use vegetable or canola oil to avoid a rancid odor. When you’re searing your steak, you want to ensure your cooking oil can withstand super-high temperatures.

Although Delmonico’s is known internationally for its steaks, you may be surprised by how many culinary concoctions this restaurant cooked up. For instance, Delmonico’s lays claim to the meringue-covered “Baked Alaska” dessert. There’s also some evidence that the brunchtime favorite eggs Benedict was first created in Delmonico’s.
But wait, there’s more! Delmonico’s also claims it was the birthplace of the Lobster Newburg, the wedge salad, Manhattan clam chowder, and Chicken à la King. Be sure to impress all of your friends with this culinary knowledge as you serve Delmonico’s signature cocktail.
