WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS RECIPE
This recipe has that restaurant flavor without the grill. The garlic and herbs perfume the butter, the butter coats the steak, and every slice tastes rich and savory.
INGREDIENTS FOR THE STEAK
– Petit Sirloin Steaks
– Whole Garlic
– Unsalted Butter
– Vegetable Oil
– Rosemary or Thyme
– Salt and Pepper
Let the steaks sit at room temperature for about 40 minutes. This helps them cook more evenly.
STEP 1: BRING THE STEAK TO ROOM TEMP
STEP 2: SEASON THE STEAKS
Season both sides of the petite sirloin steaks generously with salt and pepper.
STEP 3: SEAR
Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Once hot, place the steak in the pan and sear for about 4 minutes to create a deep crust.
STEP 4: FLIP AND BASTE
Flip the steak and reduce heat to medium. Add the butter, garlic cloves, and thyme or rosemary. Tilt the pan and baste the steak with the melted butter.
STEP 5: REST AND SERVE
Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest so carryover cooking finishes the steak and the juices stay inside. Slice and serve.
PRO TIPS
- Use steaks 1½ - 2in thick for the best results
- Pat the steaks dry before seasoning for a perfectly browned crust
- Use whole garlic and herb sprigs for optimal flavor
