Scale

Main Ingredients

1 2-pound round steak
2 teaspoons Hey Grill Hey Beef Rub (or equal parts salt and pepper)
1 Tablespoon avocado oil (for searing)
4 cloves garlic (finely minced)
4 Tablespoons butter
2 sprigs fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

Preheat skillet: Preheat a cast iron skillet on your grill or oven over medium-high heat to prepare for searing the steak.
Season steaks: Season the round steak evenly on both sides with Hey Grill Hey Beef Rub or, alternatively, equal parts salt and pepper to infuse flavor.
Sear steaks: Drizzle avocado oil into the hot skillet and heat until shimmering. Add the seasoned steak; sear for 2-3 minutes on one side until browned, then flip and sear another 2-3 minutes for medium rare doneness. Remove the steak to a plate and allow it to rest.
Make garlic butter: Add butter to the still-hot pan along with minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, and Worcestershire sauce. Scrape the bottom of the skillet with a spatula to release any flavorful browned bits from the steak. Turn off the heat, allowing the residual heat to gently cook the garlic and blend the flavors.
Slice, drizzle, and serve: Thinly slice the rested steak into strips. Return the sliced steak to the pan and spoon the garlic butter sauce over the top. Serve immediately alongside your favorite potatoes or vegetables.

Notes

For medium rare steak, sear for approximately 2-3 minutes per side; adjust time for desired doneness.
Letting the steak rest after searing helps retain juices and improves tenderness.
If you don’t have Hey Grill Hey Beef Rub, a simple mixture of salt and freshly ground black pepper works great.
Use a cast iron skillet to achieve a good sear and retain even heat distribution.
The garlic butter sauce can be enhanced by adding a splash of lemon juice or a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat.
Serve with roasted or mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
