Ingredients:

• 10oz Sirloin Steaks, a premium choice for a rich, beefy flavour
• 2 tablespoons of the finest olive oil
• 4 fresh garlic cloves, minced
• 1 shallot, peeled and finely chopped
• 12-14 sprigs of fresh thyme, to infuse the steak with a burst of flavor
• 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, for a rich and buttery finish
• Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Preparation Time:

2 hours to marinate, ensuring a deep penetration of flavours

Cook Time:

1 hour and 5 minutes to achieve the perfect medium-rare steak

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
   • Step 1: Begin by patting the steak dry on all sides using a paper towel. This ensures a perfect crust when searing.
2. Seasoning:
   • Step 2: Season the steak generously on all sides with coarse salt and cracked pepper.
   • Step 3: Set it on a rack over a sheet tray and refrigerate uncovered for 2 to 24 hours, allowing the seasoning to permeate deeply, enhancing every bite.
3. Cooking:
   • Step 4: Preheat your oven to a low 200°, ready for slow cooking the steak.
   • Step 5: Place the steak centrally in the oven, cooking for 45 to 60 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 100°.
4. Searing:
   • Step 6: Remove the steak from the oven and set aside momentarily.
   • Step 7: Heat olive oil in a 10” cast-iron or carbon steel pan over high heat until it lightly smokes, setting the stage for a perfect sear.
   • Step 8: Reduce the heat to medium, placing the steak in the pan for a precise 1-minute sear on each side, achieving a medium-rare perfection.
5. Infusing Flavors:
   • Step 9: Engage the steak in a circular motion using tongs, encouraging an even browning.
   • Step 10: Flip the steak, reducing the heat to low-medium, and cook for another minute, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
   • Step 11: Introduce the garlic, shallots, thyme, and butter to the pan, surrounding the steak with aromatic herbs and spices.
   • Step 12: Baste the steak generously for 2 minutes, enhancing its flavor and encouraging a delightful browning. Aim for an internal temperature of 120° to 125° for a medium-rare delight.
6. Resting:
   • Step 13: Allow your masterpiece to rest for 3 to 4 minutes, letting the juices redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful steak.
