Gordon Ramsay’s Sirloin Steak Recipe Ingredients

For the Steak:

• 680g sirloin steak (2 thick cuts)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt + pepper to taste
• 2 tsp mesquite seasoning (optional)

For the Garlic Herb Butter:

• 115g softened butter
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley
• 2 tsp thyme
• Optional: a pinch of rosemary or lemon zest

How To Make Gordon Ramsay’s Sirloin Steak

1. Make the herb butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, parsley, and thyme. Mix until well combined. Chill if you have time.
2. Prep the steaks: Let the steaks sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Pat them completely dry with paper towels. Rub them with olive oil and season heavily on all sides with salt, pepper, and mesquite seasoning (if using).
3. Sear the steaks: Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat until it is smoking hot. Carefully place the steaks in the pan and sear for 2 minutes without moving them.
4. Flip and baste: Flip the steaks. Add a large dollop of the garlic herb butter to the pan. As it melts, tilt the pan and use a large spoon to continuously baste the steaks with the foaming butter for 1–2 minutes.
5. Check doneness and rest: Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer (130°F / 55°C for medium-rare). Remove the steaks from the pan, top with another small pat of herb butter, and let them rest on a warm plate for 5–7 minutes.
6. Serve: Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately.

Recipe Tips

• How do I get a perfect crust on my steak? The two most important secrets are a very dry steak and a smoking hot pan. Patting the steak completely dry with paper towels and letting the pan get incredibly hot before the steak goes in are non-negotiable for a deep, flavorful sear.
• What does butter-basting do? Spooning the hot, aromatic butter over the steaks as they cook is a classic restaurant technique. It not only adds incredible flavor from the garlic and herbs but also helps to cook the steak gently and keep it incredibly moist.
• Why is resting the steak so important? This is the most crucial step for a juicy steak. Resting allows the juices, which have been pushed to the center during cooking, to relax and redistribute throughout the meat. If you cut into it too soon, all that flavor will spill out onto your cutting board.
• How do I know when my steak is done? The most accurate and stress-free way to cook a perfect steak is to use a meat thermometer. It takes all the guesswork out of the process and ensures you get your desired doneness every time.

What To Serve With Sirloin Steak

This classic steak dinner is a centerpiece that pairs perfectly with traditional sides:

• Creamy mashed potatoes or crispy french fries
• Roasted asparagus or sautéed green beans
• A simple wedge salad with blue cheese dressing
• Sautéed mushrooms and onions

How To Store Sirloin Steak

Refrigerate: Store leftover cooked steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat: Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or in a low-temperature oven to avoid overcooking it. Leftover steak is also excellent served cold in salads or sandwiches.
