Herb-Crusted Sirloin with Garlic Butter

A sirloin elevated with a bold herb crust and rich garlic butter sauce — simple ingredients, serious results.

Ingredients

• 2 Meridian Beef Sirloin steaks (1 inch thick)
• 2 tbsp kosher salt
• 1 tbsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 4 tbsp butter
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp avocado oil
• Juice of half a lemon

Instructions

1. Mix rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and Dijon. Coat steaks evenly. Rest 20 minutes.
2. Heat cast iron over high heat. Add oil.
3. Sear steaks 3 minutes per side without moving.
4. Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and garlic. Baste continuously 2 minutes.
5. Finish with a squeeze of lemon. Rest 5 minutes before serving.

Pitmaster Tip

The Dijon acts as a binder for the herb crust and adds a subtle tang that balances the richness of the butter. Don’t skip it.

Serving Suggestion

• Roasted fingerling potatoes
• Wilted garlic spinach
• Crusty baguette to soak up the butter
