Ingredients
For the Steak:
1 bone-in sirloin steak (1 to 1½ inches thick, USDA Choice or Prime)
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt (or to taste)
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon avocado oil (or olive oil)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme
2 cloves garlic, smashed
Optional Marinade (for extra flavor):
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1️⃣ (Optional) Marinate the Steak: Mix marinade ingredients, coat the steak, and refrigerate for 3-24 hours. Pat dry before cooking.
2️⃣ Bring to Room Temperature: Remove steak from the fridge 30-45 minutes before cooking. Pat dry again to ensure a good sear.
3️⃣ Preheat Skillet & Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until smoking hot (5-7 min).
4️⃣ Season & Sear: Generously season with salt and pepper. Add oil to the pan and sear the steak for 2-3 min per side until a golden crust forms.
5️⃣ Finish in the Oven: Add butter, rosemary, and garlic to the skillet. Transfer to the oven and cook for 4-6 minutes (medium-rare). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy:
Rare: 120-125°F (49-52°C)
Medium-Rare: 130-135°F (54-57°C)
Medium: 140-145°F (60-63°C)
6️⃣ Rest & Serve: Remove steak, tent with foil, and rest for 5-10 min. Slice against the grain and serve hot!
Notes
For a deeper flavor, marinate the steak overnight.
Always pat the steak dry before cooking for the best crust.
Use a cast iron skillet for superior searing and even cooking.
Let the steak rest after cooking to retain juiciness.
