Rosemary & Garlic-Basted Sirloin Steak

Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless top sirloin steak, trimmed
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
• ½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
• 4 medium cloves garlic, minced
• 2 medium shallots, sliced lengthwise
• 1 ½ tablespoons butter
• 1 sprig fresh rosemary, plus more for garnish

Directions

1. Let steak stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels. Brush with oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
2. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook for 1 minute. Add garlic, shallots, butter and rosemary; cook, tilting the pan slightly to pool the butter and drippings on one side, for 1 minute. Use a spoon to baste the steak with the butter mixture. Flip the steak and cook, basting occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer registers 52 C for medium-rare, 2 minutes more. Transfer the steak to a clean cutting board and top with the shallots, garlic and rosemary. Cover loosely with foil; let stand for 10 minutes.
3. Discard the rosemary sprig. Thinly slice the steak against the grain and transfer to a serving platter. Spoon drippings from the pan and cutting board over the steak. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and garnish with more rosemary, if desired.
