Char-Broiled Sirloin Steak with Cabernet Butter Sauce

Char-Broiled Sirloin Steak with Cabernet Butter Sauce — a recipe imported from the Wikibooks Cookbook.

Ingredients

  • 1 top sirloin steak (also goes by the name: center cut, top butt, and hip)
  • Salt
  • Freshly-ground black pepper
  • Olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter, sliced thinly and brought to room temperature
  • ½ cup Cabernet Sauvignon wine
  • 1 shallot, puréed until smooth
  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter, divided

Instructions

  1. 1
    Brush both sides of steak with olive oil and season liberally with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
  2. 2
    Preheat your broiler. Place a rack in the highest position of the oven and one just below it. Place a sheet of aluminum foil that has been crimped around the edges on the lower rack.
  3. 3
    Place the steak on the upper rack. Insert a probe thermometer into the center of the steak and keep the oven door open with a tube of aluminum foil.
  4. 4
    Cook until internal temperature reaches 140°F for medium rare, 155°F for medium, and 165°F for toast (carry-over will take it 5 degrees).
  5. 5
    Remove to a plate, dab butter slices evenly on top, and cover with aluminum foil. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing thinly across the grain on a 45 degree angle.
  6. 6
    Combine wine and shallot in a medium skillet over medium high heat.
  7. 7
    Whisk in the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, waiting until the last piece has been incorporated before adding the next piece.
