A succulent sirloin steak pan-seared to perfection and topped with a rich garlic herb butter, this recipe delivers a flavorful and juicy steak experience that’s simple to prepare and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 1 1/4 pounds sirloin steak (top sirloin recommended)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Garlic Herb Butter

  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh herbs (thyme, parsley, or chives)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish

  • Additional fresh herbs (thyme, parsley, or chives) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep the Steak: Pat each steak dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps in achieving a good sear. This step is crucial for a flavorful crust when cooking.
  2. Heat the Pan and Season: Heat a large cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until hot. Pour in olive oil and evenly season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
  3. Cook the Steak: Place the steaks in a single layer in the hot pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, allowing a nice browned crust to form. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; medium is recommended at 145°F (63°C).
  4. Prepare Garlic Herb Butter: While the steak cooks, combine softened butter, minced garlic, fresh herbs, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir well to blend the flavors evenly in the butter.
  5. Rest and Serve: Remove steaks from the pan and let them rest for at least 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Top each steak with a dollop of the prepared garlic herb butter. Slice the steak against the grain and garnish with additional fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, let the steak reach room temperature before cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking the steak.
  • You can substitute fresh herbs based on preference, such as rosemary or basil.
  • Resting the steak is vital to keep it juicy and tender.
  • If you prefer your garlic butter cold, refrigerate until firm and add a slice on top just before serving.
