How To Cook Bone In Sirloin Steak?

Early Prep

Remove the meat cut from the freezer and let it come to room temperature. This step will ensure even cooking throughout the meat and helps to retain its juiciness.

Pan Frying Bone In Sirloin Steak

In a cast-iron skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and add garlic cloves and fresh rosemary springs. These ingredients will infuse aromatic flavors into the oil and boost the taste.
Now carefully place the seasoned steak in the hot skillet, bone-side down. Allow the meat to roast for a few minutes until it takes a rich, golden-brown crust form.

Once the first side is perfectly cooked, flip the steak using tongs. You have to cook it until the meat gets a golden-brown crust on both sides.

At the final moments, put butter on the meat to boost its sizzling goodness. Cook for additional 1 or 2 minutes, and done!
