Garlicky steak

Serves: 2-4

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 8-12 minutes for the beef, or until desired doneness and 5 minutes for the sauce.



2 boneless beef top sirloin steaks, or any preferred cut that about 3/4” thick and about 1.5 to 1.75 lbs

1 to 2 tsp bottled minced garlic (around 2-4 cloves)

1 tsp fresh ground pepper


1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp olive oil (or garlic-infused olive oil if you have it)

1 cup beef broth (I use these vegan GF cubes thaat are awesome)

2 tbsp wine

1/2 tsp dijon mustard



These can be done either in a broiler or in a skillet.  I usually use the skillet method



Preheat broiler or start heating a skillet with the oil on low-medium heat.  Trim fat from steaks.  For rub, in a small bowl combine garlic pepper and salt.  Sprinkle mixture evenly over both sides of each steak.  Rub in with your fingers.



For sauce, in a pan combine beef broth and wine.  Cook over high heat for 4-5 minutes or until mixture is reduced to about 1/2 cup.  Whisk in mustard.  Cover sauce and keep on low heat to keep warm.



Place steaks n the unheated rack of a broiler pan Broil 3-4 inches from the heat until desired doneness, turning once halfway through broiling.



-OR-



Place steaks in heated skillet.  After a minute or two, start raising the heat of the skillet.  Allow 8-10 minues or so for medium rare, more time for more doneness.



Cut steaks into 4 roughly equal servings if needed.  Spoon sauce onto 4 dnner plates.  Top with steak



I tend to serve this with roasted, blanched or sauted asparagus.  The flavor pairing is incredible.
