SIRLOIN STEAK

Sirloin steak gets the royal treatment, first topped in mesquite seasoning and then finished with a delicious garlic herb butter sauce. The result is thick, juicy, moist, buttery, garlicky tender sirloin steak every time!

INGREDIENTS

1 1/4 pounds sirloin steak I like top sirloin
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 tablespoons butter softened
1/2 teaspoon garlic minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh herbs such as thyme, parsley or chives, plus more for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

Pat each steak dry with a paper towel. Heat a large cast-iron skillet or other heavy pans over medium-high heat.
Pour the olive oil into the pan. Season the steaks on both sides with salt and pepper.
Place the steaks in a single layer in the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until browned. Use a thermometer to cook the steak to your desired level of doneness. I recommend cooking to medium which is 145 degrees F.
While the steak is cooking, place the butter in a bowl along with the garlic, herbs, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
Let the steaks rest for at least 5 minutes off the heat. Place a dollop of butter on top of each steak. Slice the steak. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired, then serve.
