Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (8 oz each) Sirloin steak
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 sprig Fresh rosemary
- 1 sprig Fresh thyme
Instructions
Take the sirloin steaks out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature. Pat them dry with paper towels.
Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and black pepper.
Heat a cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat until shimmering.
Place the steaks into the hot pan and sear for 2-3 minutes on the first side without moving them to ensure a proper crust forms.
Flip the steaks and sear for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the unsalted butter, garlic cloves (lightly smashed), rosemary, and thyme to the pan.
Tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to continuously baste the steaks with the melted butter and herbs for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired level (125°F for rare, 135°F for medium rare, 145°F for medium).
Remove the steaks from the pan and transfer them to a cutting board. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Slice the steaks against the grain and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
