Ingredients

  • boneless top sirloin steak

    trimmed

    1 lb
  • extra-virgin olive oil
    1 tbsp
  • kosher salt

    divided

    ¾ tsp
  • ground pepper

    divided

    ½ tsp
  • cloves garlic

    minced

    4 medium
  • shallots

    sliced lengthwise

    2 medium
  • butter
    1 ½ tbsp
  • fresh rosemary

    plus more for garnish

    1 sprig

Directions

  1. 1

    Let steak stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels. Brush with oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook for 1 minute. Add garlic, shallots, butter and rosemary; cook, tilting the pan slightly to pool the butter and drippings on one side, for 1 minute. Use a spoon to baste the steak with the butter mixture. Flip the steak and cook, basting occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer registers 125°F for medium-rare, 2 minutes more. Transfer the steak to a clean cutting board and top with the shallots, garlic and rosemary. Cover loosely with foil; let stand for 10 minutes.

    Step 2
  3. 3

    Discard the rosemary sprig. Thinly slice the steak against the grain and transfer to a serving platter. Spoon drippings from the pan and cutting board over the steak. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and garnish with more rosemary, if desired.

Reverse-Seared Steak

Reverse-Seared Steak

Reverse-searing is a grilling technique for steak that ensures a dark, sizzling crust and a rosy center that is perfectly cooked to your desired degree of doneness. This brilliant grilling method combines the low and slow cooking of traditional barbecue with the high heat charring practiced at steakhouses. Though it works well with any thick steak, from picanha to porterhouse, this recipe calls for a cut of steak popularized in Santa Maria, Calif., and is today known and loved across the U.S. as tri-tip. As the name suggests, it’s a triangular or boomerang-shaped steak cut from the tip of the sirloin, blessed with a robust beefy flavor.

About this Recipe

Your quest for the ultimate sirloin steak experience ends here. This Rosemary & Garlic-Basted Sirloin Steak recipe promises to deliver a perfectly seared, incredibly flavorful steak that will make you rethink your favorite steakhouse.

Why This Recipe Works

The magic of this recipe lies in the meticulous basting technique, infusing every bite with rich aromatics. By marrying fresh rosemary, fragrant minced garlic, and savory shallots with melted butter and olive oil, you create an unparalleled basting liquid. This method is the secret to achieving that coveted, perfectly seared exterior while locking in the juiciness of the sirloin.

What to Expect

Prepare your senses for a truly elevated steak experience. You can anticipate a steak with a beautifully developed crust, giving way to a tender, succulent interior. Each morsel is bursting with the deep, savory notes of garlic, the herbaceous warmth of rosemary, and the subtle sweetness of shallots, all enhanced by the richness of butter. This dish, a satisfying lunch at just 216 calories per serving, provides a restaurant-quality meal without the fuss.

Customization & Variations

While boneless top sirloin is specified, you can easily adjust the aromatic profile to suit your taste. Experiment with fresh thyme sprigs in place of rosemary for a different herbaceous note, or increase the amount of minced garlic for a more pungent flavor. If shallots are hard to find, a very small amount of finely minced onion can offer a similar, delicate sweetness.

Serving & Context

This Rosemary & Garlic-Basted Sirloin Steak is ideal for a special lunch that feels effortlessly gourmet. Serve it simply with a fresh green salad or alongside your favorite roasted vegetables to complement its robust flavors.
