Perfect! Sirloin steak is lean, flavorful, and cooks quickly—great for a quick dinner. Here’s a simple way to make it:
Pan-Seared Sirloin Steak
Ingredients:
- 1–2 sirloin steaks (about 1 inch thick)
- Salt & black pepper
- 1–2 tbsp oil (canola, vegetable, or avocado)
- Optional: 1–2 tbsp butter, garlic cloves, fresh thyme or rosemary
Steps:
- Prep the Steak:
- Let steaks sit at room temperature for 20–30 minutes.
- Pat dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Sear the Steak:
- Heat a skillet (cast iron is best) over high heat.
- Add oil, then the steak. Cook 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust time for thickness and preference).
- Optional Basting:
- In the last 2 minutes, add butter, garlic, and herbs to the skillet.
- Spoon melted butter over the steak for extra flavor.
- Rest the Steak:
- Remove from skillet and let rest 5–10 minutes to keep juices in.
- Serve:
- Slice against the grain if desired.
- Great with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or a salad.
If you want, I can also give a marinated sirloin steak version that’s super tender and flavorful, perfect for grilling or pan-searing.
Do you want that version?
