Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g beef sirloin steak
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Take the beef sirloin steak out of the fridge and let it rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the ingredients.
Pat the beef dry with paper towels to remove any moisture. This helps achieve a good sear.
Rub both sides of the steak with olive oil, then season evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the butter and allow it to melt and start to foam.
Carefully place the steak in the pan and let it cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes on the first side, depending on your desired level of doneness.
Flip the steak using tongs and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time based on your preference.
Remove the steak from the pan and place it on a plate. Cover it loosely with foil and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
If desired, garnish the steak with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
