Instructions
- Take the sirloin steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Rub the steaks with olive oil and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- In a small bowl, combine the chopped spring onions and fresh thyme. Press this mixture onto one side of each steak to form a crust.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks crust-side down. Sear for about 4-5 minutes until a golden crust forms.
- Flip the steaks and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is achieved.
- While the steaks are cooking, melt the butter in a separate small saucepan over medium heat. Continue cooking until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the chopped shallot to the butter and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Pour in the balsamic vinegar and honey, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until it reduces and thickens slightly.
- Once the steaks are cooked, transfer them to a cutting board and let them rest for about 5 minutes.
- Slice the steaks against the grain and drizzle with the brown butter and balsamic-shallot reduction. Garnish with additional spring onions if desired.
Notes
For added flavor, feel free to experiment with different herbs or serve with a side of roasted vegetables.
