Description
A perfectly cooked sirloin steak, sliced to show the juicy pink interior with a caramelized crust, seasoned with garlic butter for rich flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs sirloin steak (1 inch thick)
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Remove steak from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to bring to room temperature.
- Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking.
- Sear steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
- Reduce heat to medium and add butter, minced garlic, and parsley.
- Baste the steak with the melted garlic butter for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

- Letting the steak rest ensures juiciness.
- For extra flavor, add a sprig of rosemary or thyme while basting.
