How to Cook the Perfect Sirloin Steak

A simple, foolproof method for a crusty, juicy sirloin every time — pan, grill, or barbecue.

Ingredients

• 2 x MyButchery sirloin steaks
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 50g butter

Method

1. Take the steaks out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to come to room temperature.
2. Pat dry with kitchen paper and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Heat a heavy-based pan until smoking hot. Add a splash of oil.
4. Sear the steaks for 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare, basting with butter, garlic, and rosemary in the last minute.
5. Rest the steaks on a warm plate for 5 minutes before serving.
6. Slice against the grain and serve with your favourite sides.

Chef's tip: Always let your meat rest — it redistributes the juices and makes every bite more tender.
