Ingredients
- 1 pound (450g) sirloin steak
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- fresh herbs optional, such as thyme or rosemary
Instructions
- Take the sirloin steak out of the refrigerator and let it settle to room temperature.
- Season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet or frying pan over high heat. Add the oil and let it heat up until it shimmers.
- Carefully place the sirloin steak into the hot pan. Allow it to sear for about 2-3 minutes without moving it to develop a nice brown crust.
- Flip the steak using tongs and sear the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking the steak to your desired level of doneness. For medium rare, it might take an additional 2-4 minutes of cooking time, depending on the thickness of the steak. Aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F (55-57°C).
- To ensure accuracy, use a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the steak. Avoid overcooking the steak as it can result in a less tender and juicy texture.
- Once the steak reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the pan and transfer it to a cutting board or plate. Let it rest for about 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute within the meat.
- Optionally, sprinkle some fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, on top of the steak for added flavor.
- Slice the sirloin steak against the grain and serve it immediately.
