Ingredients
- 2 lb Sirloin strip steaks
- 1 tbsp Coarse salt
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1/4 cup Parsley
- 2 tsp Oregano
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 tbsp Red wine vinegar
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes
Steps
- Bring the steaks to room temperature and salt 30 minutes ahead — the salt dissolves and seasons deep.
- Sear in a ripping-hot cast-iron pan 4 minutes per side for a mahogany crust and rosy medium-rare center.
- Add butter and crushed garlic in the last minute, tilting the pan to baste.
- Rest 8 minutes — non-negotiable — then slice and serve with chimichurri on the side, never drowning the steak.
- Save the pan drippings — spooned over roasted potatoes, they are better than any sauce.
