Sirloin Steak with Garlic Butter
Description
The method begins by drying sirloin steaks and seasoning them with salt and pepper. They are pan-seared in olive oil over medium-high heat to form a caramelized exterior, cooking about 4-5 minutes per side. Checking doneness with a thermometer is recommended, with medium (145°F) suggested.
While cooking, a compound butter is prepared by mixing softened butter with minced garlic, fresh herbs such as thyme and parsley, plus salt and pepper. After the steaks rest off heat for at least five minutes to redistribute juices, a dollop of the garlic herb butter is placed on top, melting to enrich the flavor and texture.
The steak can be garnished with additional herbs and served sliced. This straightforward preparation highlights the quality and flavor of the sirloin complemented by the rich, aromatic butter.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 pounds sirloin steak I like top sirloin
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter softened
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs such as thyme, parsley or chives, plus more for garnish, minced
Instructions
- Pat each steak dry with a paper towel. Heat a large cast iron skillet or other heavy pan over medium high heat.
- Pour the olive oil into the pan. Season the steaks on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Place the steaks in a single layer in the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until browned. Use a thermometer to cook the steak to your desired level of doneness. I recommend cooking to medium which is 145 degrees F.
- While the steak is cooking, place the butter in a bowl along with the garlic, herbs, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Let the steaks rest for at least 5 minutes off the heat. Place a dollop of butter on top of each steak. Slice the steak. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired, then serve.
