Cast-Iron Garlic Sirloin Steaks

Sirloin rewards a hard sear and a short finish, not a long bath in butter. Drying the surface is what gets the brown crust. Garlic goes in after the flip so it perfumes the butter without burning into bitter black flecks.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Total Time 22 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless top sirloin steaks 8 oz each and 1 inch thick
  • 2 tsp All-Purpose Steakhouse Seasoning
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 garlic cloves lightly crushed

Method
 

  1. Pat the steaks completely dry and season both sides evenly with the steakhouse seasoning.
  2. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 4 minutes until a water droplet evaporates almost immediately.
  3. Add the oil, lay in 2 steaks without crowding and sear untouched for 3 minutes until a deep brown crust releases from the pan.
  4. Flip the steaks, add half the butter and garlic, and baste for 2 to 4 minutes to the requested doneness; for minimum food-safety guidance, cook whole beef steaks to 145°F and rest 3 minutes.
  5. Transfer the steaks to a warm plate, repeat with the remaining steaks, butter and garlic, and keep the pan hot between batches.
  6. Rest every steak for at least 5 minutes before slicing across the grain.
