Seared Steak With Rosemary image

I liked this alternative to marinating - sometimes we forget to plan ahead & arrive ravenous. This seems like a tasty way 'round waiting or forgoing something super yum. I believe this method is mighty adaptable to different cuts & even types of meat. From The Washington Post.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 -3 sprigs rosemary, fresh stems cut into 2-inch pieces
24 ounces sirloin steaks
salt, to taste
black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (neutral like grape seed)

Steps:

  • In a small skillet over medium-low heat, heat the olive oil and the rosemary, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat; scrape the rosemary and oil onto a platter or container large enough to hold the steak in a single layer.
  • Meanwhile, pat the steak dry and season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
  • In a large, preferably cast-iron, skillet over medium-high heat, heat the 2 tablespoons vegetable oil until hot but not smoking. Carefully add the steak and cook, turning only once, until cooked to the desired degree of doneness, 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare.
  • Transfer the steak to the oil-rosemary mixture, turn to coat and set aside to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • If desired, using tongs, transfer the steak to a cutting board and cut into thin slices. (If using skirt steak, cut across the grain.) Arrange the steak on individual plates.
  • Discard the sprigs of rosemary and drizzle the oil and juices from the plate over each steak. Serve immediately.
