🥗Healthier: sirloin steak

💰Cheaper: chuck steak

Sirloin is leaner while chuck offers a more affordable option.

1

Select a center cut fillet steak, about 500-600 grams, suitable for 3-4 people.

2

Season the steak generously on all sides with salt and black pepper.

3

Heat a medium skillet over high heat until hot.

4

Add a drop of olive oil to the skillet and place the steak in, searing it on all sides.

5

Add butter, garlic, and rosemary to the skillet after searing the steak.

6

Reduce the heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.

7

Insert a temperature probe into the thickest part of the steak to monitor the internal temperature.

8

Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for about 12-16 minutes, checking the temperature regularly.

9

After cooking, let the steak rest to allow the heat to transfer evenly throughout the meat.

10

Check the internal temperature, aiming for 58 degrees Celsius before resting.
