Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef sirloin steak
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Take the beef sirloin steak out of the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature, ensuring even cooking.

Step 2

Season both sides of the steak generously with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Rub in the seasonings thoroughly.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix chopped fresh parsley, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and red pepper flakes. Set aside to let flavors meld together.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over high heat and add the remaining olive oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the steaks in the skillet. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.

Step 6

Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on one side without moving it, to achieve a good caramelization.

Step 7

Flip the steak and add butter to the pan, basting the steak with the melted butter for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the desired doneness is achieved (medium-rare is typically 135°F / 57°C).

Step 8

Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes to reabsorb the juices.

Step 9

Cut the steak against the grain into thick slices and serve immediately with the chimichurri sauce drizzled on top.
