Sirloin Steak with Shallot Pan Sauce

For two servings you'll need:

2 Sirloin steaks (1/2 lb each)

1 Tbsp vegetable oil

1 Shallot

2 Garlic cloves

4 Tbsp salted butter

2 Sprigs of fresh thyme

1/4 cup beef stock

2 Tsp Worcestershire sauce

Take your steak out of the fridge and let it sit for at least 15 minutes before preparing.

Halve, peel and finely chop the shallot.

Peel and mince the garlic.

Pat the steaks dry with paper towel and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

Add the vegetable oil to a medium pan over medium-high heat.  Add the steak and cook until seared and cooked to desired doneness (3 - 6 minutes per side).  Remove from pan and set aside to rest.

Reduce heat the medium and add the butter.  Add the shallot, garlic, and thyme.  Cook until softened (2 - 3 minutes).  Stir frequently.

Add beef broth to skillet and whisk to dissolve stuck on bits.  Add the Worcestershire sauce and simmer to reduce the sauce for 2 - 3 minutes.  

Remove skillet from heat.  Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed.  

Slice he steak into 1/2" thick slices and top with pan sauce.  

This is delicious served with Crack Broccoli and garlic bread.
