Peppercorn Sirloin Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Take the sirloin steak out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps it cook more evenly.

2. 2

   Crush the Peppercorns

   Using a mortar and pestle or a heavy pan, crush the black peppercorns to release their flavor. They should be cracked but not finely ground.

3. 3

   Season the Steak

   Rub the steak with salt, crushed peppercorns, and minced garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle fresh thyme on both sides.

4. 4

   Heat the Pan

   Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a tablespoon of olive oil.

5. 5

   Cook the Steak

   Add the steak to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

6. 6

   Rest and Serve

   Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute. Serve with your choice of sides.
