Ingredients

Scale
For the steak:
  • 2 sirloin steaks (about 1-inch thick)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil
For the herbed garlic butter:
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Herbed Garlic Butter (5 minutes): In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, and a pinch of salt. Set aside in the refrigerator.
  2. Season Steaks (2 minutes): Generously season both sides of the sirloin steaks with salt and pepper.
  3. Preheat Pan (3 minutes): Heat a skillet or grill pan over high heat and add a little olive oil.
  4. Cook Steaks (6-8 minutes): Place the steaks in the hot pan. For medium rare, cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
  5. Rest Steaks (5 minutes): Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
  6. Serve with Butter (2 minutes): Top each steak with a pat of the herbed garlic butter just before serving.

Notes

To ensure the perfect medium rare, use a meat thermometer; the internal temperature should be around 130-135°F (54-57°C). If you prefer it cooked more, feel free to go up a few more degrees. Resting the steak before serving is crucial for a juicy result.

The herbed garlic butter can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This dish pairs excellently with sides like roasted vegetables, a baked potato, or a simple green salad. Enjoying the steak with a glass of red wine can further elevate the dining experience.
