Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the sirloin steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Rub the olive oil over the steak. Then, sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly on both sides.

  3. 3

    Sear the Steak

    Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the steak to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare.

  4. 4

    Add Garlic

    During the last minute of cooking, add the crushed garlic cloves to the skillet to infuse flavor.

  5. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Optional Asparagus Side

  1. 6

    Prepare Asparagus

    While the steak is resting, rinse the green asparagus under cold water and trim the ends.

  2. 7

    Cook Asparagus

    In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt over medium heat. Add the asparagus and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender.

  3. 8

    Finish Asparagus

    Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the sautéed asparagus before serving.
