Almonds provide healthy fats with a lower cost.

Trim off all the fat from the top sirloin steak, saving any fat that has meat attached for the sauce.

Cut the trimmed piece of steak in half to create two 4 to 5 ounce pieces.

Pound each piece of steak to about 1/4 inch thick using a Ziploc bag or plastic wrap and a flat metal meat pounder.

Prepare the sauce by combining beef broth and barbecue sauce in a bowl, adding a little butter, hot sauce (optional), and black pepper (optional).

Season the steaks generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Heat a skillet over high heat and add the saved piece of fat to the dry pan to check the temperature.

Once the fat starts to sizzle, add a little grape seed oil to the pan.

When the pan is hot and there are tiny wisps of smoke, add the steaks to the pan.

Sear the steaks for about 30 seconds to 1 minute per side, depending on desired doneness (creator prefers 45 seconds per side).

Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for 2 minutes while keeping the pan on high heat.

Add the prepared sauce to the hot pan and reduce for about 2 minutes until the butter emulsifies into the sauce.

Serve the rested minute steak on a warm plate and spoon the barbecue butter sauce over the top.
