Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (12-16 ounce) beef striploin steak, about 1.5 inches thick
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)
Instructions
- Take the beef striploin steak out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking. Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Place a cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking hot. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
- Carefully place the seasoned beef striploin steak in the hot pan. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until a dark, golden-brown crust forms.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter, minced garlic, and rosemary (or thyme) to the pan. Tilt the pan and use a spoon to continuously baste the steak with the melted butter and herb mixture for another 2-3 minutes.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak. For medium-rare, aim for 130-135°F (54-57°C); for medium, 135-145°F (57-63°C).
- Remove the steak from the pan and place it on a cutting board. Let it rest for at least 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Slice the beef striploin steak against the grain and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
Notes
- Choose a high-quality cut of beef for the best flavor and tenderness.
- Pat the steak dry before searing to ensure a good crust.
- A smoking hot pan is essential for a perfect sear.
- If cooking multiple steaks, do it in batches to maintain the pan’s temperature.
- Resting the steak after cooking is crucial for retaining moisture and flavor.
