What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 2 pieces sirloin steaks 8oz each
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter softened
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Steaks
Remove steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Season generously on both sides with kosher salt and black pepper, pressing the seasoning firmly into the meat.
Step 2: Make the Herb Butter
Combine the softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley in a small bowl and mix until fully incorporated. Roll the butter mixture in plastic wrap into a log shape and refrigerate until ready to use.
Step 3: Grill the Steaks
Preheat your grill or cast iron pan to high heat until it is smoking. Sear the steaks for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare, avoiding the urge to move them during cooking to build a proper crust.
Step 4: Rest and Serve
Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Top each steak with a generous slice of the chilled herb butter and serve immediately.
