Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6-8 ounces each) sirloin steaks
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) fresh parsley
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
Instructions
Remove the sirloin steaks from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels, then season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and heat until shimmering.
Place the steaks in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on the first side without moving them, allowing a golden crust to form.
Flip the steaks and sear the other side for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare doneness. Adjust cooking time depending on your steak's thickness and preferred doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, and thyme to the pan.
Tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted garlic butter for 1-2 more minutes.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and transfer them to a cutting board. Tent loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
While the steaks rest, stir the chopped parsley into the remaining garlic butter in the skillet.
Serve the steaks topped with the garlic butter and garnish with additional parsley, if desired. Enjoy!
