Everyone knows that a minute steak is only as good as the pan sauce, and this recipes offers an ultra-simple barbeque butter sauce. There's only a small amount of butter, but the way it blends with the beef broth and barbeque sauce, the effect is amplified. Ingredients:
2 (5 ounce) boneless sirloin steaks |
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste |
1/2 cup beef broth |
1 1/2 tablespoons barbeque sauce |
1 dash hot pepper sauce |
freshly ground black pepper |
1 teaspoon cold butter, or more to taste |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
Directions:
1. Place each steak between two sheets of heavy plastic (or inside a resealable freezer bag) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound each steak with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/4-inch. Remove steaks from plastic.
2. Generously season each steak with salt and ground black pepper. Set aside.
3. Combine beef broth, barbeque sauce, hot sauce, and black pepper in a bowl. Add chilled butter to broth mixture but do not stir.
4. Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat until it just begins to smoke, about 1 minute. Place each steak in the pan; sear for 45 to 60 seconds on each side. Remove steaks from skillet and set them aside to rest.
5. Pour the broth mixture into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Stir occasionally until butter is melted and incorporated, about 2 minutes.
6. Spoon broth and butter mixture over steak and serve.
