Total Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 1 ½ pounds sirloin bavette steak, (see note)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, or canola oil (see note)
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• rosemary sprigs

Instructions

1. Remove the steak from the fridge 30-60 minutes ahead of time so they can reach room temperature for even cooking.
2. Pat dry the steak with paper towels to remove excess moisture that could interfere with a good sear.
3. Rub 1 tablespoon oil on all sides. Then season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
4. Place a cast-iron pan medium-high heat. Wait 4-5 minutes for the pan to become very hot.
5. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan and swirl to coat. Then add the prepared steak.
6. Cook the steak for 5-7 minutes (see note), flipping every minute and spooning pan juices on top to baste the meat. Halfway through add the butter and optional rosemary sprigs to the pan.
7. Check doneness by inserting an instant-read thermometer into the middle of the steak: rare is 125°F, medium-rare is 130°F and medium is 135-140°F.
8. Remove to a plate or carving board. Cover with foil and allow to rest for 5 minutes so the juices can redistribute through the meat.
9. Slice crosswise against the grain to serve. 

Notes

Use any high-temperature oil including refined olive oil, canola oil, sunflower oil, or peanut oil. Extra virgin olive oil can smoke and is not recommended.
Grilled Bavette Steak: Prepeare the steak for cooking as above. Preheat the grill to 275°F and cook the steak to an internal temperature of 115°F, about 15-20 minutes. Raise the heat to high and sear 1-2 minutes per side until it reaches your desired doneness.
Bavette Steak in the Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place the steak in an ovenproof dish and bake for 5-7 minutes or until it reaches your desired doneness.
