Main Ingredients- Premium Korean Beef (Hanwoo) Sirloin 400g
Marinade (Per Steak Piece)- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Minced Garlic
- 2 pinches Coarse Salt (per side)
- Pinch of Black Pepper
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Minced Garlic
- 2 pinches Coarse Salt (per side)
- Pinch of Black Pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the steak for cooking. First, gently pat the Hanwoo sirloin dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Brush both sides evenly with olive oil. Then, spread the minced garlic thinly over both sides. Season generously with coarse salt and black pepper. Be sure to apply about 2 pinches of salt to each side for balanced flavor. Let the seasoned steak rest for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 2
While the steak rests, let’s make a flavorful cream sauce to accompany it. You can use a store-bought sauce, but making your own will yield a fresher, deeper taste. Melt butter in a pan over low heat, then whisk in flour and cook until lightly browned, ensuring no lumps form. Gradually pour in heavy cream and milk, stirring constantly, and simmer until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. Sautéed onions and mushrooms can be stirred into the sauce for added depth of flavor. (Tip: Sauté the onions and mushrooms before cooking the steak to save time.)
Step 3
Now, it’s time to cook the steak. Heat a pan over medium-high heat and melt about 1 teaspoon of butter. Once the butter is melted and shimmering, carefully place the seasoned Hanwoo sirloin into the pan. Cook the steak, adjusting the heat as needed. The key is to sear the outside quickly over high heat to lock in the juices while keeping the inside tender and moist.
Step 4
Adjust the cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness. Generally, aim to sear the exterior until beautifully browned while keeping the inside juicy and tender. Avoid flipping the steak too frequently; instead, allow each side to develop a nice crust for optimal flavor and texture.
Step 5
As the steak cooks, a delightful aroma of garlic will fill your kitchen, making your mouth water. The perfectly cooked steak will have a beautiful golden-brown crust and an enticing rich beefy fragrance. You’ll feel a sense of accomplishment creating such a magnificent dish at home.
Step 6
Once cooked, generously spoon the prepared cream sauce over the steak for an even richer experience. You can also serve it with whole grain mustard or your favorite steak sauce, if desired. However, this steak is so flavorful from the simple seasoning that it’s equally delicious served plain. Highly recommended to savor the pure, deep flavor of the Hanwoo! Enjoy your incredibly tender and juicy steak!
