Minute-by-Minute Sirloin Steak

Ingredients:

• 1.5 lbs. sirloin steak

• 1/2 tsp sea salt

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1/2 tsp black pepper

• 2 garlic cloves, grated

• 1 inch piece of ginger, grated

• salt to taste

1. Allow your steak to come to room temperature 1 hour before cooking.

2. Rub the steak all over with olive oil, sea salt and black pepper.

3. Heat a cast iron skillet until very hot.

4. While skillet is heating, combine melted butter, garlic and ginger.

5. Cook the steak for 5 to 6 minutes; turning every minute.

6. Every time you turn the steak, brush with the butter mix.

7. Place steak on a platter, season with salt and allow to rest for 10 minutes before cutting. If you have extra butter mix, drizzle on the steak while it is resting.

Notes&Tips:

• It is easy to achieve a perfectly cooked steak when we used expensive cuts like Filet Mignon, NY- Strip, T-Bone, Rib-Eye or Tenderloin. However, when we use the less expensive cuts of steak, cooking it to perfection, requires skill as well as patience.

• Generally I only use Sirloin steaks for stir frying, but I decided to try this method that I saw Jamie Oliver used for feather (or flat iron) steak. It turned out beautiful at medium-rare.

• I used a cast iron skillet to cook this steak, but a regular heavy bottom pan will serve the purpose as well.

• You could certainly incorporate any other seasonings that you'd like: mustard, fresh or dry herbs and they will add to this very simple Minute-by-Minute Sirloin Steak.
