Seared Sirloin Steak With Olive Relish Recipes

SIRLOIN STEAK WITH SPINACH AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler on high with a large ovenproof cast-iron skillet on a rack 4 inches below element. Season steak with salt and pepper; let stand 10 minutes. Meanwhile, stir together olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and 1 tablespoon each oil and vinegar.
• Swirl 1 tablespoon oil into hot skillet. Add steak and broil until browned (do not flip), 6 to 7 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board; loosely cover to keep warm. Combine onion and 2 tablespoons oil in skillet; season. Broil, stirring a few times, until tender and golden brown in places, 10 to 12 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons vinegar; broil until mostly evaporated, about 1 minute.
• Remove skillet from broiler. Toss spinach with onion in skillet, a few handfuls at a time, until just wilted; season. Slice steak and serve with spinach and onion, olive relish, and bread and butter.

CAST IRON PAN-SEARED STEAK (OVEN-FINISHED)

Steps:

• Place steaks side by side in large casserole dish. Add orange juice, cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Refrigerate, uncovered, for 45 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Remove casserole dish from refrigerator. Cover steaks with plastic wrap and let reach room temperature, at least 15 minutes.
• Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat.
• Place steaks on a clean work surface and generously rub with steak seasoning and black pepper.
• Cook steaks in the hot skillet until lightly browned on the bottom, 2 1/2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side and red in the center, about 2 minutes more. Place skillet, with steaks, into the oven.
• Bake in the preheated oven until steaks are firm and reddish-pink to lightly pink in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read from 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) to 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
• Remove steaks from oven; season with salt. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

SEARED SIRLOIN STEAK WITH OLIVE RELISH

Steps:

• Whisk together the honey and vinegar in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Whisking constantly, pour in the oil in a slow, steady stream; whisk until emulsified. Stir in the onion, garlic, olives, orange, and parsley; set aside.
• Season the steak all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Coat a 12-inch seasoned cast-iron skillet with a thin layer of oil; heat over medium-high heat until very hot. Sear the steak, turning once, 6 to 8 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate, and tent with foil; let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
• To serve, cut the steak against the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices, and arrange on a platter. Spoon the relish on top; garnish with parsley sprigs.
