Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin steak
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- as needed olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Remove the beef sirloin steak from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. This ensures even cooking.
Pat the steak dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Season both sides with freshly ground black pepper, sea salt, and garlic powder.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly spray with olive oil spray.
Once the skillet is hot, add the steak. Cook for approximately 4-6 minutes on one side, depending on the thickness and preferred doneness.
Flip the steak using tongs and cook for another 4-6 minutes on the other side until it reaches the desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer if needed (Medium rare: 135°F, Medium: 145°F, Medium well: 150°F).
Transfer the steak to a cutting board. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes; this helps to retain the juices.
Slice the steak thinly across the grain for tenderness.
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the sliced steak for garnish and serve immediately.
