Ingredients
Scale
Steaks
- 4 sirloin steaks (about 8 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons sea salt
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
- Bring Steaks to Room Temperature: Take the steaks out of the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes to ensure even cooking throughout.
- Season the Steaks: Generously season both sides of each steak with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper for full flavor.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil; heat until shimmering.
- Cook the Steaks: Add the steaks to the hot skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side to achieve medium-rare doneness, or adjust cooking time to your preferred doneness.
- Prepare Garlic Butter Sauce: While steaks cook, melt unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook gently for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
- Add Parsley: Remove the saucepan from heat and mix in finely chopped fresh parsley.
- Rest the Steaks: Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for a few minutes to retain juices.
- Serve with Garlic Butter: Pour the garlic butter sauce over the steaks to infuse them with flavor as they absorb the sauce.
- Present and Garnish: Serve the steaks whole or sliced, garnished with additional garlic butter sauce and a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- Allowing steaks to reach room temperature helps to cook them evenly.
- Resting the steaks after cooking ensures juicier meat.
- Use fresh parsley to enhance the herbal note in the sauce.
- Adjust cooking time depending on preferred doneness (rare, medium, well done).
- This recipe is ideal for stovetop cooking.
