INGREDIENTS
- 10 ounces/285 grams sirloin filet
- 2 garlic heads, halved
- 4 tablespoons butter
- Fresh thyme sprigs
Seasoning mix:
- 2 tablespoons ground coffee
- 2 tablespoons ancho chili powder
- 1 tablespoon chipotle powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a small bowl, mix the coffee, chili powders, cumin, coriander, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Rub the mixture generously over the steak, pressing it into the surface.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak and sear until deeply browned, about 5 minutes per side.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and garlic halves to the pan, letting the butter melt and foam. Place the thyme sprigs on top of the steak. Using a spoon, continuously baste the steak with the melted butter for about 2 minutes, or until it reaches your desired doneness (125°F for medium-rare).
- Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice against the grain and serve with any remaining pan juices.
