How to Cook Steak on the Stove
Description
How to Cook Steak on the Stove outlines a straightforward approach to preparing sirloin steaks in an oven-safe skillet. After seasoning the steaks with salt and pepper, the recipe starts by searing them over medium-high heat with butter to develop a crispy, flavorful crust on the exterior. Applying pressure with a spatula encourages even browning particularly on the skin side.
Following the sear, steaks are flipped, topped with additional butter for richness, and moved to a preheated oven at 350°F to finish cooking gently. This dual-method approach results in steaks with a tender interior and a caramelized outer crust. A brief resting period under foil after cooking reabsorbs juices and ensures the meat remains moist.
Serving sliced against the grain aids tenderness and provides a neat presentation. The recipe suggests accompaniments like vegetables or potatoes, making it adaptable to various meal types and side dishes.
The notes specify the serving size at half a pound per steak, helpful for portion planning.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds sirloin steak 4 steaks
- 4 tablespoons butter divided
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven-safe cast iron skillet (or other oven-friendly pan) over medium-high to high heat. Preheat the oven to 350.
- Blot steaks with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Salt and pepper both sides of the steak. Melt 2 tablespoons butter into hot pan and immediately place steaks in to sear. Cook the meat 3-4 minutes on the first side without touching it or moving it around.
- Flip your steaks over, top each steak with 1/2 tablespoon of butter and transfer to the hot oven for 5 minutes, keeping them in the same skillet.
- After the 5 minutes, take them out of the oven and transfer steaks to a plate. Cover with foil and rest for 5 more minutes.
- Finally, take the foil off and thinly slice the steak against the grain. Serve with vegetables, potatoes or any other side you like to have with your steak.
Notes
- Each serving corresponds to half a pound of steak, with the total recipe making four steaks.
