Ingredients
Scale
main ingredients:
- 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks
- 1 tbsp olive oil
seasoning:
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
optional garnish:
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Remove steaks from refrigerator 30-45 minutes before cooking to reach room temperature, ensuring even cooking and tender texture.
- Preheat broiler to high setting with oven rack positioned 3-4 inches from heat source.
- Pat steaks completely dry using paper towels to eliminate excess moisture, which prevents proper searing.
- Generously coat steaks with olive oil, then evenly sprinkle salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides, massaging seasonings into the meat.
- Place seasoned steaks on a broiler pan or cast-iron skillet, positioning them directly under broiler flame.
- Broil first side for 4-5 minutes until surface develops a rich, caramelized crust with deep brown coloration.
- Carefully flip steaks using tongs and broil opposite side for 3-4 minutes for medium-rare doneness, adjusting time based on desired internal temperature.
- Check steak’s internal temperature with meat thermometer: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium.
- Remove steaks from oven and let rest on cutting board for 5-7 minutes, allowing juices to redistribute throughout meat.
- Optional: Top with a pat of butter and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley before serving to enhance flavor profile.
- Slice against the grain and serve immediately while hot and juicy.
Notes
- Master the room temperature technique by removing steaks 30-45 minutes before cooking to guarantee uniform heat distribution and maximum tenderness.
- Ensure perfect dryness by thoroughly patting steaks with paper towels, creating an ideal surface for achieving that gorgeous caramelized crust.
- Optimize seasoning by massaging salt, pepper, and garlic powder directly into the meat, allowing flavors to penetrate deeply and enhance natural beef richness.
- Customize doneness precision by using a meat thermometer, targeting specific internal temperatures for consistently perfect results every time.
