Ingredients

• 2 sirloin strip steaks
• 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• salt and pepper to taste
• Chimichurri Sauce:
• 1 cup (packed) fresh Italian parsley
• ¼ cup (packed) fresh cilantro

Directions

• For the Chimichurri sauce: Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth. Set aside.
• For the steaks: Preheat the oven to 415.° Remove steak from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking, this is to bring the steak to room temperature and ensure your cooking times are more accurate. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
• Add the olive oil and butter to an oven safe cast iron skillet and turn up high, allow the skillet to become scorching hot first. Place the sirloins face down and sear undisturbed for 2 minutes. Flip the sirloins and sear for an additional 2 minutes. This will give your steaks a nice seared edge.
• Transfer your skillet directly to the oven. [WARNING] skillet may be hot, handle with oven mitts. For rare, bake for 4-5 minutes. Medium rare, 5-6 minutes. Medium, 6-7 minutes. Remember, depending on the size of the steak, the more or less time it will take. This recipe is ideal for a 16-20 ounce sirloin strip streak. Remove steaks from the skillet and set on a plate, lightly cover with tin foil and let sit for 5 minutes before serving. This is important to bring your steak to its final serving temperature. Top with Chimichurri sauce and serve.
