I think my parents worry about my somewhat limited meat intake. It’s not that I don’t like meat, I just tend to grab seafood or cook with the veggies in my CSA share instead. Last time I saw them, they gave me two top sirloin steaks from Omaha steaks, woo hoo! I thought I’d try broiling them, but straight on the rack in the hopes of getting “grill” marks on the steak. I found this method on Food Network’s site, an Alton Brown recipe, and decided to add a little garlic on top to make it my own.
Ingredients: (I just made one serving)
1 top sirloin steak
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
Begin by setting your oven to broil. Brush the steak with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place a piece of aluminum foil on the bottom rack in the oven to catch drippings. Place the steak straight on to the middle rack.
Broil for 6 minutes. Turn the steak over and broil for another 6 minutes.
While the steak is cooking, melt the butter over medium heat in a saute pan. Add the garlic.
Cook until it begins to brown and remove from heat.
Remove the steak from the oven and top with the crispy garlic.
So, I didn’t get any “grill” marks. Boo. But the steak was cooked wonderfully! It was really juicy and tender. The garlic added a little crunch to the dish and of course a little extra flavor.
Oh my this looks fantastic!! I’m salivating! 🙂
I love the crispy garlic on the steak! The steak looks terrific…I wouldn’t worry about the grill marks. Maybe next time – heat the rack closer to the heat for a longer period of time and then move it down when you put the steak in?
I think if you do what Ann said you’ll get good grill marks.
The crispy garlic looks great. I do something similar but I slice my garlic thin so they look like teensy chips.
Your steak looks delicious!
Never had crispy garlic like this before, sounds wonderful! I love a good steak!
I wish my parents would give me red meat! Bring it on. haha. The garlic does sound awesome. I’m going to try to preparing it like that. buzzed. 🙂
