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.

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.
