Ingredients
- 4 ounces beef sirloin steak
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Begin by patting the steak dry with paper towels. This helps in achieving a good sear.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Step 3
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the steak. Let it sit for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 4
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Step 5
When the oil is hot and shimmering, gently place the steak in the skillet.
Step 6
Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side to develop a nice crust. Adjust cooking time based on desired doneness.
Step 7
Add the unsalted butter to the skillet during the last minute of cooking. Use a spoon to baste the steak with the melted butter.
Step 8
Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for about 3 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 9
Before serving, sprinkle fresh parsley over the steak and drizzle with lemon juice for a fresh finish.
Step 10
Serve the steak hot, accompanied by your favorite low-sodium breakfast sides.
