Instructions
In a small microwaveable bowl, melt butter in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or until completely melted. Add garlic and parsley flakes.
Add canola oil to pan and medium-heat over high heat until the pan is blazing hot (about 5 minutes). Make sure to use a vent.
Pat the meat dry.
Add salt and pepper to both sides of steaks, and place in pan. Grill for 3 minutes and flip over.(medium rare) See post instructions for cooking times for rare/medium/well done.
Flip steaks again, add more butter, and let cook for another 30 seconds per side until the steak is done to your liking.
Use an instant-read meat thermometer, and remove the meat from pan when the thermometer reads 10 degrees below the temperature for doneness. Add the remaining butter mixture. Cover lightly with a piece of aluminum foil and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
If you have trouble finding a 4-6 ounce sirloin steak, this recipe will work with any type of steak that is the same size. Always use your meat thermometer and eat when a safe cooking temperature is reached.
