Ingredients

• 8 oz sirloin steak
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Remove the sirloin steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.

Step 2

Season the steak generously with salt and black pepper on both sides. Set aside.

Step 3

Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat until shimmering.

Step 4

Add the steak to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on the first side, without moving it, to develop a nice crust. Flip and sear for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter, minced garlic cloves, and thyme sprigs to the skillet. Spoon the melted butter over the steak continuously for 1-2 minutes (basting) to enhance the flavor.

Step 6

Check the internal temperature of the steak using a meat thermometer. For medium-rare, it should read 130°F (54°C). Adjust cooking time as needed for your desired doneness.

Step 7

Once cooked to your preference, transfer the steak to a plate and cover loosely with foil. Allow it to rest for 5-7 minutes.

Step 8

While the steak rests, return the skillet to medium heat. Add the remaining olive oil and the cherry tomatoes. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and blister. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 9

Serve the cooked steak on a plate with the roasted cherry tomatoes and garlic on the side. Drizzle any remaining pan juices over the dish for extra flavor.
