Sirloin Steak
Step 1
Pat each steak dry with a paper towel. Heat a large cast iron skillet or other heavy pan over medium high heat.
Step 2
Pour the olive oil into the pan. Season the steaks on both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 3
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 145F.
Step 4
While the steak is cooking, place the butter in a bowl along with the garlic, herbs, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
Step 5
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.
