Ingredients
Scale
- 4 sirloin steaks (about 1 1/4 pounds total, 3/4 inch thick)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 teaspoons mesquite seasoning (e.g., McCormick’s Grill Mates Mesquite Seasoning)
- Garlic Herb Butter:
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
Instructions
- Prepare the garlic herb butter by mixing softened butter, garlic powder, minced garlic, parsley, and thyme in a bowl. Set aside.
- Pat steaks dry with a paper towel to ensure a great sear.
- Rub steaks with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, and mesquite seasoning.
- Cook steaks on a skillet or grill over medium heat for 5–8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).
- For oven cooking, sear the steaks in a hot cast-iron skillet for 1–2 minutes per side, then transfer to a preheated oven at 450°F and bake for 6–10 minutes.
- Allow the cooked steaks to rest for at least 5 minutes.
- Top each steak with garlic herb butter and serve immediately.
Notes
- For best results, choose steaks that are at least 3/4 inch thick.
- If you don’t have fresh herbs, substitute 1 teaspoon of Herbs de Provence or Italian seasoning.
- To reheat leftovers, warm gently in a skillet over low heat with a splash of beef broth or water to retain moisture.
