STEAK HOUSE SIDES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F and grease a roasting tray.
• Season the sirloin steaks with salt and pepper and rub with olive oil to add flavor. Transfer the steaks to a roasting pan.
• Add the garlic and herb twigs, and cover the entire roasting tray with foil.
• Roast the steaks for 30 to 35 minutes, depending on how you like them.
• Towards the last 10 minutes of cooking, remove the foil and set aside.
• Add the butter and spread around the roasting tray until melted.
• Baste the steak with its own roasting juices combined with the melted butter.
• Set the top heat only to 400 degrees F and broil the steaks until caramelized.
• Set aside the cooked steak for at least 10 minutes to rest.
• Peel off the garlic to be placed on top of the steaks for serving.
• Serve it as is or with any sauce and accompaniments, either whole or sliced, and enjoy!

Steps:

• Remove packaging and pat meat dry with paper towels. Line a plate with paper towels, place meat on top and set aside to dry further and come to cool room temperature (30 to 60 minutes, depending on the weather). Turn occasionally; replace paper towels as needed.
• Place a heavy skillet, preferably cast-iron, on the stove and sprinkle lightly but evenly with about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt. Turn heat to high under pan. Pat both sides of steak dry again.
• When pan is smoking hot, 5 to 8 minutes, pat steak dry again and place in pan. (If using two steaks, cook in two batches.)
• Let steak sizzle for 1 minute, then use tongs to flip it over, moving raw side of steak around in pan so both sides are salted. Press down gently to ensure even contact between steak and pan. Keep cooking over very high heat, flipping steak every 30 seconds. After it’s been turned a few times, sprinkle in two pinches salt. If using pepper, add it now.
• When steak has contracted in size and developed a dark-brown crust, about 4 minutes total, check for doneness. To the touch, meat should feel softly springy but not squishy. If using an instant-read thermometer, insert into side of steak. For medium-rare meat, 120 to 125 degrees is ideal: Steak will continue cooking after being removed from heat.
• Remove steak to a cutting board and tent lightly with foil. Let rest 5 minutes.
• Serve in pieces or thickly slice on the diagonal, cutting away from your body and with the top edge of the knife leaning toward your body. If cooking skirt or hanger steak, make sure to slice across the grain of the meat.
