Serving size

Ingredients

1 lb. boneless top sirloin steak – trimmed
2½ tbsp. extra-virgin olive oils
¾ tsp. kosher salt – divided
½ tsp. ground pepper – divided
4 medium cloves garlic – minced
2 medium shallots, sliced lengthwise
1 sprig fresh rosemary plus more for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Leave the steak at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Pat dry with paper towels and then brush with oil. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

Step 3

Heat up a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add steak and cook for 1 minute. Then, add garlic, shallots, 1½ tbsp. oil and rosemary. Cook for 1 minute while tilting the pan slightly to pool the oil and drippings on one side.

Step 5

Use a spoon to baste the steak with the mixture. Flip the steak and cook, basting occasionally until an instant-read thermometer reads 125°F . For medium-rare, cook 2 minutes more.

Step 6

Place the steak to a clean cutting board and top with the shallots, garlic and rosemary. Cover with foil loosely and leave for 10 minutes.

Step 7

Discard the rosemary sprig.

Step 8

Thinly slice the steak against the grain and transfer them to a serving platter.

Step 9

Spoon the remaining drippings from the pan and cutting board over the steak.

Step 10

Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Garnish with more rosemary if desired.

Step 11

Use leftovers to top a salad the next day.
