A Special Homemade Steak: Sirloin with Unforgettable Ghee Butter Flavor
Enjoying a delicious steak at home is easier than ever! Elevate your homemade steak with ghee butter (clarified butter), known for its richer, deeper flavor compared to regular butter. This recipe makes your home-cooked steak an extraordinary culinary experience. Don’t miss out on this fantastic combination!
Steak Ingredients- Beef sirloin for steak, 2 servings (about 2.5cm thick)
- Ghee butter, 1 Tbsp
- Coarse salt, 1 pinch
- Freshly ground black pepper, 1 pinch
- Olive oil, 4 Tbsp
- Fresh rosemary sprig, 1 (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, take the sirloin steaks out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Generously season both sides and the edges of the steak with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper. Proper seasoning is key to a flavorful steak.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat until it’s shimmering. Carefully place the seasoned steaks into the hot pan. Sear each side for about 1 to 2 minutes until a beautiful golden-brown crust forms. Searing the exterior quickly helps lock in the juices, ensuring a more tender and moist steak inside.
Step 3
Prepare a small, heatproof dish for the ghee butter. After draining or wiping out the olive oil from the pan, place the dish with the ghee butter onto the stove over low heat. Allow the ghee butter to melt slowly. Be cautious to avoid burning the butter; placing the dish on the pan is a safer method than direct heat.
Step 4
If you prefer your steak rare, remove it from the pan after searing and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender bite. Once rested, slice the steak into bite-sized pieces (about 2-3 cm thick).
Step 5
Place the sliced steak pieces into the dish with the melted ghee butter. Submerge the steak in the melted butter and then return it to the pan to cook to your desired doneness. The rich, nutty flavor of the ghee butter will infuse the steak, creating an exceptional taste. Basting the steak with the melted butter as it cooks will enhance the flavor further.
Step 6
Enjoy the steak as is, infused with the delicious ghee butter. For an even more elevated presentation, serve with freshly baked bread or a sprig of fresh rosemary. You can also gently toast the rosemary sprig to release its fragrant aroma alongside the steak.
