Ingredients

Scale

Steak and Seasoning

  • 1 steak cut of choice (ribeye or sirloin recommended, about 812 oz)
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 23 fresh garlic cloves
  • 2 fresh rosemary sprigs

Cooking Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil (natural)
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tbsp plant-based butter
  • 1 tsp lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Steak: Bring your steak to room temperature by letting it rest out of the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes. This step ensures even cooking and helps develop a perfect sear.
  2. Seasoning the Steak: Generously season both sides of the steak with sea salt and cracked black pepper. Rub fresh garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs directly onto the meat to infuse immediate flavor.
  3. Heating the Pan: Preheat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the olive oil (natural) to coat the pan, preparing it for searing.
  4. Searing the Steak: Place the steak in the hot pan and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on thickness and your preferred doneness. Avoid moving the steak excessively during this process to form a beautiful golden crust.
  5. Adding Plant-Based Butter and Flavorings: In the final minute of cooking, add the plant-based butter, remaining garlic cloves, and rosemary sprigs to the pan. Continuously spoon the melted butter over the steak to enhance richness and aroma.
  6. Resting the Steak: Remove the steak from the pan and transfer it to a plate. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring each bite is juicy and flavorful.

Notes

  • Choose quality cuts such as ribeye, sirloin, or strip steak for best flavor and tenderness.
  • Cook steaks one or two at a time to maintain high heat and perfect searing; do not overcrowd the pan.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check doneness: 125°F for medium-rare, 135°F for medium.
  • Always let the steak rest after cooking to maintain juiciness.
  • Finish with a squeeze of lemon or additional lemon zest before serving to brighten flavors.
