Gordon Ramsay’s Sirloin Steak is a premium, pan-seared steak cooked over high heat to create a golden, crispy crust while keeping the inside tender and juicy. Basted with butter, garlic, and fresh herbs, this cooking technique enhances the natural flavors of the sirloin, making it one of the best ways to enjoy a perfectly cooked steak.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Steak

  • 1 sirloin steak (1–1.5 inches thick)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For Basting and Flavor

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme or rosemary

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Steak

  1. Pat the steak dry with paper towels to remove moisture, ensuring a better sear.
  2. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2: Heat the Pan

  1. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat for 2-3 minutes until very hot.
  2. Add olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.

Step 3: Sear the Steak

  1. Place the sirloin steak in the pan and sear for 2-3 minutes without moving it.
  2. Flip the steak and sear for another 2-3 minutes until a crust forms.

Step 4: Baste with Butter and Herbs

  1. Reduce heat to medium, add butter, smashed garlic, and thyme or rosemary.
  2. Tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to baste the steak with melted butter for 1-2 minutes.

Step 5: Cook to Desired Doneness

  1. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness:
    • Rare: 120-125°F (49-52°C)
    • Medium-rare: 130-135°F (54-57°C)
    • Medium: 140-145°F (60-63°C)
    • Medium-well: 150-155°F (65-68°C)
    • Well-done: 160°F+ (71°C+)

Step 6: Rest and Serve

  1. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain juices.
  2. Slice against the grain and serve with your favorite sides.
