Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (approximately 6 oz each) Beef sirloin steaks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Black pepper
- 6 cloves (thinly sliced) Garlic cloves
- 1 cup White wine
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 whole leaves Bay leaves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Pat the beef sirloin steaks dry with a paper towel and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper. Let them rest at room temperature for 10 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the steaks to the skillet. Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are browned to your desired doneness (medium-rare recommended). Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside on a plate, tented with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the thinly sliced garlic. Sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Deglaze the skillet by adding the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the butter, bay leaves, and a pinch more salt to the pan. Simmer the sauce for 5-7 minutes until it has slightly reduced and thickened.
Return the steaks to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Simmer for another 2 minutes to reheat the steaks and allow them to absorb the flavors of the sauce.
Remove the skillet from the heat and discard the bay leaves. Drizzle the steaks and sauce with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Serve immediately, pairing the Lisbon Steak with fried potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
