Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6 oz each) sirloin steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons (chopped) fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons (chopped) fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 4 cups (for serving) mixed leafy greens
- 2 teaspoons (optional for greens) balsamic vinegar
Instructions
Remove the sirloin steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 15-20 minutes.
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and rub both sides with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, coarse black pepper, and sea salt. Rub this herb mixture evenly onto both sides of the steaks.
Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the steaks in the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, for medium-rare doneness. Adjust cooking time based on your preferred doneness level.
Drizzle the cooked steaks with lemon juice and transfer to a cutting board. Allow the steaks to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve the steak slices over a bed of mixed leafy greens. Optionally, drizzle the greens with balsamic vinegar for added flavor.
