Alright /ck/, there is a lot of discussion around here about how to cook the perfect steak. We'll I'm about to give you a master class. This is not about the cut of meat (best you can afford obviously), or how to prepare it for cooking, but on the actual technique of cooking it. For today's class I have something simple and cheap. It's an 18oz top sirloin. Typically, for a better cut of meat, I'd suggest nothing but a application of salt and pepper. But since this is a cheap cut I marinated it for 3 days in my own secret recipe.

Set it out and let it come to room temperature. When it's about there, preheat your oven to 425 and cut up 2 tablespoons of butter in your pan and set it to medium high heat
>>
When the pan is hot and the butter has stopped foaming add your room temperature steak. Do not touch it once it hits the pan. Let it sear for 3 minutes
>>
Now flip and do the same to the other side. Note the sear on it.
>>
Now after searing on both sides you transfer the whole pan to the preheated oven. For medium rare cook it for 4 minutes.
>>
After 4 minutes, remove from oven, and transfer to a plate to rest for 5 minutes.
>>
After 5 minutes you have a perfectly cooked medium rare steak.
>>
And as a bonus here's what I'm drinking along with it tonight. Best brewery in Atlanta.
>>
Oh totally forgot. While you're searing the steak, spoon the melted butter over it. That's it folks. That's the perfect way to cook a steak.

Looks pretty bad to me. If you enjoyed it then that's great but I'd give it a 3/10

The large gray ring of well done meat. You have 2 steaks in one. 1 well done and one medium rare

If it was soft you could have sliced it with a bread and butter knife

I said in the OP it was a sirloin. Not really known as a very tender cut of meat
