Pan-Seared Sirloin Steak with Garlic Butter Mushrooms

• Sirloin Steak

  16 oz
• Cremini Mushrooms

  8 oz
• Garlic

  2 cloves
• Unsalted Butter

  2 tbsp
• Olive Oil

  1 tbsp
• Salt

  0.5 tsp
• Black Pepper

  0.3 tsp
• Fresh Parsley

  1 tbsp

All Steps

1. 1

   Pat the sirloin steaks dry with paper towels. Season generously on both sides with salt and black pepper.

2. 2

   Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully place steaks in the hot skillet.

3. 3

   Sear steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust to your desired doneness. For medium-rare, an internal temperature of 130-135°F (54-57°C) is ideal.

4. 4

   Remove steaks from the skillet, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender steak.

5. 5

   While the steaks are resting, add butter to the same skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the sliced cremini mushrooms and minced garlic.

6. 6

   Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and browned. Stir occasionally.

7. 7

   Serve the rested steaks immediately, topped with the garlic butter mushrooms. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
