Equipment

  • 1 grill or skillet
  • 1 tongs
  • 1 small saucepan
  • 1 basting brush
  • 1 cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs sirloin steak
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional) Optional for garnish.
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Season the sirloin steak with salt and black pepper on both sides. Allow it to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice.
  • Preheat your grill or skillet over high heat and add the olive oil to prevent sticking.
  • When the grill is hot, add the steak and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Use tongs to turn the steak as necessary.
  • During the last few minutes of cooking, brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the steak to infuse it with flavor.
  • Once done, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
  • Slice the steak against the grain into thick slices and drizzle any leftover garlic butter on top before serving.
  • For a more intense flavor, consider marinating the steak in the garlic butter mixture for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Adjust cooking times based on your preference for doneness, using a meat thermometer for best results (130°F for rare, 145°F for medium, 160°F for well done).
