Sirloin Steak Recipe
Sirloin steak gets the royal treatment, first topped in mesquite seasoning and then finished with a delicious garlic herb butter sauce. The result is thick, juicy, moist, buttery, garlicky tender sirloin steak every time!
Servings:4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 sirloin steaks, about 1 1/4 pounds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 teaspoons mesquite seasoning, see note
garlic herb butter
- ½ cup butter, softened
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley, see note
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, see note
Instructions
- Stir together butter, garlic powder, garlic, and herbs. Set aside.
- Pat steaks dry with a paper towel.
- Rub steaks all over with olive oil.
- Season steaks with salt and pepper to taste, and mesquite seasoning.
- Cook steaks 5-8 minutes on each side (or until cooked to desired doneness - I like mine medium-well at about 145 degrees internal temperature) in a skillet over medium heat OR on a grill over medium heat. (See note for oven instructions)
- Allow steaks to rest at least 5 minutes.
- Top with garlic herb butter and serve.
Notes
For the steaks: I typically look for steaks at least 3/4 inch thick for tenderness and flavor!
Mesquite seasoning: I use McCormick's Grill Mates Mesquite seasoning and I keep a bottle of it in my pantry at all times - it is one of my favorite go-to tricks for livening up a piece of steak, chicken, pork, or even seafood and vegetables.
Fresh herb substitute: If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use 1 teaspoon Herbs de Provence (my favorite dried herb blend!) or your favorite Italian seasoning blend.
Oven instructions: Sear steaks in a cast-iron pan over high heat for 1-2 minutes. Flip, then transfer the pan to your oven (preheated to 450 degrees) for 10 minutes (6 minutes for thinner cuts). Allow to rest at least 5 minutes before slicing.
