Big Top Sirloin & Mushrooms

Top Sirloin topped with green onions and a sweet Southern Comfort butter reduction.
Feeling steak-y too? Follow these simple steps:
On the way back from work, pick up top sirloin steaks. They’re a VERY affordable cut of meat without the sacrifice of that mouth-watering beefy flavor. When you get home, preheat a couple tablespoons of veggie oil in a skillet. Salt and pepper your steaks and lay them in the pan when the oil begins to smoke. Cook 6 minutes, that should give you enough time to really get great golden crust. Flip and continue cooking for 3 mintues to achieve a nice juicy medium rare steak. Take out of the skillet and let rest for at least 10 mintues.
As for the remnants in the pan (that’s where all the flavor is), I added chopped green onion and a shot of Southern Comfort OFF THE FIRE (I’ve been told that brandy works very well too). Dig up the brown bits and add a little beef broth (you could use water) as well as a few pats of butter. Keep stirring until the sauce is nice and thick. Drizze over your steaks and enjoy with a side salad and a huge pot of mashed potatoes or rice. MmMMmmmMMmMMMm.
A bougie-bougie steak dinner for about $5!
Enjoy!

Hey, you didn’t mention anything about the mushrooms in your recepie. Was it just a quick pan sear? How were they prepared?

Rye: I’ve broiled steaks before (omg espeically t-bones!!! *drool*), but top sirloin steaks kinda lack the marbled fat that can protect the meat in the broiler. Plus, I was really hungry. Hee hee.

Clip: Yeah man, it was just a quick pan sear with some dried thyme, olive oil, salt and freshly ground pepper.
Easy breezy.
