Ingredients

• 2 pieces (8 oz each) Sirloin steak
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 sprig Fresh rosemary
• 1 sprig Fresh thyme

Directions

Step 1

Take the sirloin steaks out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature. Pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat a cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat until shimmering.

Step 4

Place the steaks into the hot pan and sear for 2-3 minutes on the first side without moving them to ensure a proper crust forms.

Step 5

Flip the steaks and sear for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the unsalted butter, garlic cloves (lightly smashed), rosemary, and thyme to the pan.

Step 7

Tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to continuously baste the steaks with the melted butter and herbs for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired level (125°F for rare, 135°F for medium rare, 145°F for medium).

Step 8

Remove the steaks from the pan and transfer them to a cutting board. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Step 9

Slice the steaks against the grain and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
